The Islamic Republic's entrenchment in Lebanese and Iraqi politics demonstrates its ability to take advantage of fractures and political infighting, whereas Turkey's goal of acting as a trusted moderator in seemingly intractable conflicts -- such as Lebanon, Palestine, and Iraq -- reveals Iran and Turkey are competing for different ends.
Utjecaj Islamske Republike u libanonskoj i iračkoj politici pokazuje njezinu sposobnost da iskoristi prednosti rascjepa i unutarnjih političkih borbi, dok cilj Turske da preuzme ulogu povjerljivog posrednika u naizgled nerješivim sukobima -- poput Libanona, Palestine i Iraka -- otkriva da se Iran i Turska nadmeću za ostvarenje različitih ciljeva.
