Hello everyone from GZT, we are here with our Africa Editor Tunç Demirtaş in the new episode of our 10/ON series. Iran's efforts to expand its influence in sub-Saharan Africa have gained momentum with increasing oil revenues since the early 1970s. In order to support its political, strategic, economic and ideological goals, Iran gave importance to Africa within the framework of its "revolution export" policy after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and also saw this continent as a strategic area to reduce the impact of international sanctions due to nuclear activities. Iran has strengthened its political and diplomatic presence in order to limit its influence in Africa, especially in response to pressure from Western powers such as the USA and Israel.
Nigeria, one of the prominent countries in Africa, is one of the regions where Iran's influence is felt most intensely. There is a large Shiite community in Nigeria, and Iran is trying to influence religious and social dynamics through this community. The Shiite population holds an important place in Nigeria's religious structure, and Iranian-backed religious leaders and educational programs reinforce this influence.
Iran seeks to spread Shiite Islam and increase its political influence by applying similar strategies in other African countries such as Tanzania. In this context, Iran's Africa policy supports its global strategic goals and aims to maintain and expand its religious and political presence in the region. This situation is of critical importance for Iran to strengthen its position in global geopolitical games. Iran's role in Africa has decisive effects on regional and international balances.
