A comparative study of the concept of fighting against Zionism in the discourse of the Islamic Republic and ISIS

With the victory of the Iranian Islamic Revolution in February 1357, the fight against Zionism became one of the most important discourse elements in the discourse of the revolution, and confronting the Zionist regime was placed in the ranks of the government's vital interests arising from it. Contrary to this orientation of the Islamic Republic, in recent years, the takfiri group of ISIS, by marginalizing the fight against Israel and arrogance, has become the anti-discourse of the Islamic Republic and is trying to turn this element into anti-Shia with its activities. The present study is an attempt to answer the question, what is the position of the fight against Zionism in the discourse of the Islamic Republic and the discourse of ISIS? The findings of the research indicate that the discourse of the Islamic Republic with elements such as justice-centeredness, revisionism in the international system, arrogance and negation of dominance and dominance, support for the oppressed and deprived and anti-Zionism, which are articulated around the axis of the Islamic government , it inevitably ends in confronting the hegemonic policies of the Zionist regime. But the takfiri group ISIS, despite the takfir of other religions, including Jews, and a serious confrontation with them, due to its special definition of a close enemy, the fight against Muslims, especially Shiites, is at the top of its work. The data of this research has been collected using the library method and has been analyzed using the discourse analysis theory in a descriptive-analytical way.
