Hey, I just want to clarify that Turkey is not blue or light blue on the map so one cannot assume that they are Iran's friends from the map on the first page, If you (atatwolf) had actually read the map a bit carefully.
By the way, EVERY Muslim nation SHOULD be a friend of Iran to some or certain extent and IS.
Nobody is going to just sit around watching Iran get attacked by some Western or Regional country i.e Israel, USA etc.
So as far as the word "friend" goes, Iran has plenty of them and remember, the word "friend" is meaningless in politics. Todays Firend can be Tommorow's Enemy.
On Topic, Iran has some "friends", if you don't agree with the word "plenty". If one has to count then I would say Pakistan herself would stand against aggresion againt Iran but Iran itself is quite capable of maintining itself and like some other member said, can do quite well without some "friends".
