To this end, Tehran has taken advantage of a number of instruments, including political, economic and religious instruments, which attract people in Arab countries in particular.

The Islamic Culture and Relations Organization (ICRO) is one of the most famous religious institutions, on which the mullah regime is heavily banking to penetrate the neighboring countries culturally.

According to ICRO’s website, the organization aims at the providing of a complete and appropriate image of Iranian and Islamic culture and civilization and to introduce the doctrine of the Ahl al-Bayt.

In Africa, the ICRO held a religious Shia ceremony in Uganda at the Khoja Mosque in Kampala on December 22. The event was attended by the Iranian cultural advisor and a number of Iranian academics.
