International and regional developments have always held significant importance for major and regional powers. Since 2011, the Syrian crisis has served as an arena for the activism of various actors with conflicting interests. The crisis in Syria has emerged as one of the most complex political crises of recent years. As a crucial Middle Eastern nation, Syria possesses unique geopolitical and geostrategic significance due to its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea and its neighborliness with the occupied Palestinian territories. Given Syria’s strategic position in the Middle East, it has drawn the involvement of numerous regional and transnational actors. The Syrian crisis is one of the most critical developments influencing the region’s future and could potentially create a different configuration of power in the region.
Employing a descriptive-analytical method and utilizing library and documentary research tools, this study seeks to answer the following question: What have been the foreign policy orientations of Iran and the European Union toward the Syrian crisis? The research findings indicate that the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, relying on a realist approach and aiming to preserve its strategic interests, focused on providing comprehensive support (financial, military, and advisory) to the Bashar al-Assad government to maintain the “status quo” and prevent the weakening of the “Axis of Resistance.” Furthermore, the findings suggest that although the European Union initially sought a “change in the status quo” and the removal of Assad through the imposition of severe sanctions and the recognition of the opposition coalition, it failed to pursue a unified and coherent foreign and security policy. The general conclusion of the article reveals that the gap between the core members of the European Union (particularly France, Germany, and the United Kingdom) in defining national interests and security priorities was the most significant obstacle to the formation of a unified European approach; in contrast, Iran maintained a consistent and continuous approach throughout the crisis by focusing on its stable strategic interests.
