Historical and modern relations

Tunisia is one of few Arab countries to develop good relations with Iran ^{[citation needed]} since the Iranian Revolution of 1979 and the establishment of the Islamic Republic. Tunisia's neutrality has given them a good image on their relations, and somewhat annoyed Saudi Arabia.^{[citation needed]}

Tunisia was one of few Arab countries to express condolences over the 2017 Tehran attacks, and both two countries expressed that there would be no limit on increased cooperation between the two nations.^[1]

Tunisia, along with their neighbor Algeria, have been accused of praising Iran, which both states have denied.^[2]

Tunisia acts as a neutral and balanced power to mediate the standoff between Iran and Saudi Arabia.^[3]
