Abstract :
The victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1357 and the developments after that put Iran on a path that has been increasingly in conflict with the interests of the West, especially the United States. The occupation of the American embassy and the development of nuclear and missile programs by Iran have been a pretext for the imposition of international sanctions by the United Nations, the European Union and the United States against this country. These sanctions were aimed at weakening Iran's economic and military power and forcing the country to reconsider its regional and international policies. This research has sought to answer the question by using the descriptive-analytical method to test hypotheses and library and survey tools to collect data, in addition to using the theory of international regimes, that What has been the role of international sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran on changing the balance of power in the West Asian region? The findings of the research indicate that the international sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran have caused major changes in Iran's military, economic and diplomatic policies in the West Asian region and fueled the increase in regional rivalries and tensions. Although these sanctions have had negative effects on Iran's economy, they have not been able to fully achieve the goals of the West towards this country and have led to an increase in geopolitical tensions in the region. On the other hand, the Islamic Republic of Iran, through diplomatic tools and informal networks and alternative ways, has somehow managed to reduce these pressures and continue its influence in the region. In addition, Despite the economic pressure caused by sanctions, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been able to play a key role in the regional equations of West Asia by strengthening its military power and continuing to support the axis of resistance in countries such as Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen. And continue to play a role as an influential actor in the region.
