Summary/Abstract: Ummu’l Kura Theory is a theoretical approach used to define the sectarian doctrine of Iran towards the Islamic World; It reflects a vision focused on Shia expansionism. The theory put forward by Muhammed Javad Larijani positions Iran as the “Guardian of Islam” and grounds the foreign policy understanding of the Velayet-i Faqih system and constitutes the theoretical basis of the sectarian foreign policy understanding, which is described as Shia expansionism. Through theory, Iran centralizes its position in the Islamic world and tries to make itself a religious and political qibla. In this article, Iran’s foreign policy is analyzed within the framework of Ummu’l Kura Theory.
