Because of people’s desire to obtain democracy and supports of west a phenomenon happened in these countries which are known as colored revolution or velvet-revolution. The phenomenon overshadowed Iran’s internal and foreign policy. After the election and objections that followed it, the ruling class in Iran tried to accuse the reformers for planning a velvet revolution against the government, because they believed that the origins of these movements are outside the country and opponents, on the other hand, tried to accuse the ruling class to organizing a coup. In this article the possibility of velvet revolution or coup have been discussed, which can be the result of rivalry between great powers and as a result Iran moved toward east much more than before and Iran’s foreign policy became more radical.
