"Iranophobia," an irrational fear of all things Iranian, has become the Islamic regime's catch-all excuse for international criticism. Groups like the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the representative body of the world's Muslim nations, are pushing for a United Nations resolution to ban denigration of Islam and other religions.  But hate towards Jews remains a key part of political speech and culture throughout Islamic countries, even those touched by the Arab Spring.

See UN Votes: Rachel's Tomb is a Mosque.

China's Iranian Gambit - Michael Singh and Jacqueline Newmyer Deal (Foreign Policy)

For example, defense analyst Maj. Gen. Zhang Shiping, who is often described in the Chinese press as a "researcher" within China's Academy of Military Sciences, argued in China's Sea Power that Iran was a potentially desirable location for a Chinese military base in the Middle East
