Abstract :
The collapse of the Soviet Union and the geopolitical changes in the Caucasus region are the factors that have made the geopolitical factors of this region more important and influential.Considering Iran's neighborhood and historical and cultural commonalities with this region and the effect of geopolitical changes of the recent crisis on the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the main question is, what effect has the second Karabakh war had on Iran's security environment?The main hypothesis of the article is that the presence of regional and extra-regional actors and sometimes with conflicting interests in the Second Karabakh War caused the continuation of the crisis and the effect of this model based on the continuation of the crisis will make Iran's peripheral environment in the South Caucasus more secure and remain secure. This article is based on the qualitative research method and a case study based on the theoretical framework of Brecher's crisis model and we have come to the conclusion that due to its continuation, the recent crisis will have effects on the countries of the region, especially on Iran, where the Caucasus region is located in its security periphery, and this situation has prevented economic and political integration in the region, and for follow-up Iran's interests will create restraint in the region.
