	abstract = {In this chapter, I make use of a batch of classified Iranian documents to revisit the question of how the Islamic Republic reached out to the Global South in the early 1980s. I argue that Iran{\textquoteright}s export of the revolution in the form of several delegations traversing countries from Gabon to Malaysia was not only ad-hoc and improvised but also affected by the serious tension of navigating pan-Islamic solidarity and Third Worldism. At a time when leftist Iranian groups involved with the revolution of 1978{\textendash}1979 had become marginalised and eliminated, the {\textquoteleft}travelling revolutionaries{\textquoteright} in Iran{\textquoteright}s delegations still tried to play the card of international anti-imperialist solidarity. In 1983, however, they had come to feel much more at home in a specific Islamic idiom.},
