        The role of culture as a spiritual aspect and civilization as a material aspect are two important topics in the field of identity and national identity of the Islamic Republic of Iran. These two inseparable and reinforcing elements have been of great importance in the history of Iranian civilization. In the Islamic Republic of Iran, due to the explanation and emphasis on civilization based on the discourse of the Islamic Revolution, the issue of civilizational identity has been considered as a main issue in cultural policy. Based on this, the main question of the research is, what effect did cultural institutions have on the institutionalization of modern Islamic civilization in the Islamic Republic of Iran? The main hypothesis is that cultural institutions, knowing the goals and nature of different layers of modern Islamic civilization based on educational, media and cultural and political socialization components, should act in the direction of institutionalization and reproduction of modern Islamic civilization. According to the nature of the discourse of the Islamic Revolution and the viewpoint of the Supreme Leader, as well as the programs formulated in the field of cultural policies, it is possible to achieve the civilizational identity and its development and deepening. The research method is a qualitative method, and the method of collecting information in a library and analyzing the collected data is qualitative analysis. Manuscript profile

        The concept of justice and the system based on it has always been one of the important topics of political thought and philosophy. John Rawls, one of the greatest contemporary political philosophers of the West, in his book Justice as Fairness, tries to explain in a political understanding of justice, the necessities of realizing the greatest possible freedom and equality for the citizens of a democratic society. The theoretical framework of the article is the theory of justice as fairness and the research method is discourse analysis. The main question is to what extent is it possible to infer the justice system as fairness according to Rawls from the discourses of the Islamic Republic? In this connection, one of the main topics is the discussion about the ratio of public interests and individual and group interests, because according to Rawls, the justice system is the institutionalized area of public interests, which is due to the institutions of the basic structure of society, which is also associated with the existence of the country or The existence of the nation-state is ongoing. In this regard, the opinions of Morteza Motahari and Abdullah Javadi Amoli, two well-known clerics, have been examined as the main conceptualizers of the analysis of the discourse of justice, from which the possibility of extracting a theory of justice close to justice as fairness can be calculated. The result is that Motahari's point of view is more capable of interpreting the justice system as fairness in the discourse of political Islam than Javadi Amoli's point of view. Manuscript profile

        Governments need regular and codified plans to develop. Also,in the international system for better and more governments to cooperate with each other,the United Nations has developed and presented programs. For example, the 17th World Development Program is one of these measures that have been considered. In the meantime, what helps the faster and coordinated development of countries in line with international programs is an efficient foreign policy.Regarding the importance of foreign policy that regulates relations between countries,it should be said that foreign policy is always a reflection of the nature of the government; The level and depth of change in the foreign policy of the countries is directly related to the form of government system,decision making model, governing norms and principles and numerous environmental components that return the feedback of continuity and change into the system.The main goal of this article is to analyze the role of the 17th World Development Program and the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The main question raised is, what has been the foreign policy approach of the Islamic Republic of Iran for the 17th World Development Program? To answer this question,the descriptive-analytical method has been used, using the findings collected by the library method and internet sites. The results of the findings show that due to the fact that the issue of development is considered in the foreign policy programs of the Republic of Iran, but in line with the seventeen goals of global development, effective measures are not observed in the approach and behavior of the foreign policy.The state of poverty and underdevelopment of some provinces of the country such as Sistan and Baluchistan, environmental indicators in the country (problems of water shortage,drying up of wetlands and lakes) are examples of the lack of an effective approach in foreign policy.

        Relations between Iran and China have a long history. Their first communication took place through the old silk road, and today, with the new silk road plan by China and the 25-year comprehensive strategic cooperation document, the relations between the two countries have expanded to the level of strategic partnership. China has signed cooperation documents with many countries to implement the Belt and Road Initiative. Iran has also received special attention from Beijing due to its special geopolitical situation. Therefore, on April 7, 1400, a 25-year comprehensive strategic cooperation document was signed between the foreign ministers of Iran and China, which is supposed to be a road map for the future cooperation of the parties. The current research is an attempt to answer the question, what economic goals are pursued by the Islamic Republic of Iran and China through the 25-year comprehensive strategic cooperation document? The proposed hypothesis is that China's main goal in the aforementioned agreement is to diversify energy sources and ensure its security. On the other hand, the most important goal of the Islamic Republic of Iran is to get rid of the economic blockade by increasing trade exchanges with China under the conditions of economic sanctions. The method of the present research is descriptive-analytical and information gathering is also done by using written sources including books, articles, documents and internet data Manuscript profile

        The railways, as a gateway to urban life and an achievement of technology, reflect the characteristics of the culture and identity of each community, which are also presented in the architectural styles of its stations. Railway stations have been of great historical importance by changing the intellectual horizon of the people. Today, railway stations do not only serve as a mean for people to travel and transport, but also, they are being constructed for their aesthetic and symbolic values. In this regard, old railway stations are the most significant ones as they increase the value of their surroundings and are capable to help practice sustainable architecture. The initial stations were mainly derived from endemic architecture styles and materials, resulting in enduring buildings. However, the typology of the architecture of the old railway stations in Iran has not been studied adequately especially in different periods of time and consequently, the need for a comprehensive study in this matter is striking. Therefore, by using the qualitative-analytical method and collecting data from various documents, old books, and field observations, this research aims to study and analyze the physical characteristics of 116 Iran’s northwestern railway stations (Tehran - Tabriz) in four periods of Qajar, first and second Pahlavi and The Islamic Republic to identify the physical patterns of the railway stations of each period. The main question that this paper tries to answer is: “what are the differences between railway stations’ architectural body during various periods of time in the northwestern line of Tehran-Tabriz?” First of all, railway stations of each period in the research area were identified one by one, and afterward, by a detailed analysis, the typology of the identified stations’ architectural body was classified for each period. The identified factors for evaluation were the plan’s type, number of floors, type of roof, the used materials in the station’s facade, and the number of ornaments. These factors were considered separately in the railway stations of each of the four periods. The results of the research indicate a significant reduction in the variety of patterns used over time, except for the number of floors in the period of the Islamic Republic with two and three-floors stations with more variety of uses, the type of materials used, roof type, type and proportions of the plan and the number of decoration patterns studied in this period, have lost their variety during the time. To construct railway stations in the period of the Islamic Republic, there has been a tendency towards flat roofs and a plan type that has a relatively monotone structure without decorations. The current research identifies the architectural body of historical railway stations, in order to plan for future development and reuse them while preserving their originality and historical identity, as part of the cultural heritage of Iranian society. Additionally, future studies can focus on a more detailed analysis such as determining differences between the various materials in each part of the building like façade, floor, walls, and ornaments during time periods.

        The lack of political development of society with existing potential is one of the socio-political issues of the Iranian society. Because, in spite of the capacities, potentials and capabilities of the society, our country did not have a proper process for political development. Development of time can have a positive impact on society that is sustainable and balanced. In order to achieve sustainable development, all the capacities and potentials of the society should be utilized in a desirable manner in order to develop the process, structure and function of political development appropriate to the needs and conditions of the society. With the knowledge and knowledge of the capacities and potential of the community, there can be an appropriate planning for the political development of the country. It seems that the social political climate of Iran has faced many challenges and obstacles in its political development from one hundred years ago. In the context of the lack of political development during the constitutional era, factors such as colonialism and imperialism and the alienation of foreigners in the external dimension and the inability and insufficiency of the political system and internal problems in the internal dimension can be pointed out. Iran, during the Constitutional Revolution, did not achieve political development due to lack of attention to internal and external realities, despite the vast wealth of oil during the years 1962 - 1979, especially late in this period. Because the development pattern of the country is more developed than developed according to the structures of the developed countries, rather than being tailored to the internal conditions. The revolutionary society of Iran during the first decade of the revolution, especially with the end of the imposed war with respect to Islamic beliefs and revolutionary necessities and social desirability and the presence of people in all scenes and their participation in political and social dimensions as an important factor, political development Started Manuscript profile

        will give necessary and at the same time will clarify the possibilities and limitations for them. Since there is a relationship between geographical factors and government policies, governments make policies according to the geographical situation of their country. For this reason, geopolitical studies are particularly important. In addition to examining the relationship between geographical factors and the politics of a country, geopolitics also deals with the interpretation of eventsand predicts the future and determines the political policy of the country. Today, one of the most important issues that make countries face fundamental challenges is geopolitics versus security. The security of people in a geographical space is dependent on the security of governments, and the more powerful and stable the governments are, the more secure they can be. One of the issues that has a fundamental position in relation to the discussion of international security is the discussion of failed governments, which pose a danger not only to its subjects, but also to international security and can challenge international security and This basis in the current decade is among the countries that are among the failed governments; The country is Iraq.

        Owing to changes and developments happened globally in the late 20th century and changes in policy-makings, technologies and disintegration of Marxism made, the Islamic Movements experienced changes and developments too. Some Islamic movements of the past underwent changes in areas like mechanisms, behavioral methods and models or there emerged modern movements in the world that are called neo-fundamentalism and Salafi movements. In the meantime, the genuine Islamic movements which were resuscitated in challenging western anti-values and modernism and in contrast, the Takfiri and Salafi movements which are burgeoning in modern times aggravate Islam-o-phobia and anti-Islamism and consciously present a grim-like and unreal image of the conspicuous religion of Islam and Muslims should be distinguished. Rise and emergence of terrorist and Salafist movements in the Mideast in organic overlapping with vast and powerful circuits has mobilized all of its ideological capacities for controlling and weakening the ideological and geological situation of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Increasing intervention and operations of Salafi jihadists in the region reveals identity theories and their approaches to the Islamic Republic of Iran.         Manuscript profile

The research method was descriptive-analytic and it was conducted using library sources and inferential and documentary approaches. The results convey that challenges and disputes related to the Syrian crisis have aspects more than just political disagreements or ethnic, identity, and religious challenges. They are rooted in the negative interference and competition of regional and super-regional powers to gain more penetration in the Middle East. The consequences of this process on the Islamic Republic of Iran include: threatening military, political, social, and economic security which creates serious challenges for the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The research method is descriptive-analytic and the results showed that the EJC by its penetration into the European parliament have been influential through abusing disputes between Iran and the EU to achieve its goals and deteriorate bilateral ties between two countries. The EJC as one of the most important institutions of the Israel lobby in Brussel has had the most influence on Iran-EU relations. This congress could fulfill its political and strategic objectives by the strategy of negative propaganda and highlighting Iran’s threat. Moreover, the EJC has been influential on decreasing bilateral ties between Iran and the EU by increasing heavy sanctions, restrictive measures, high-ranking European officials’ avoidance of travelling to Iran, and the critical tone of Europe in its resolution and statement against Iran’s policies.

        < p >The purpose of the present study is to explore the impact of the process of globalization on the transformation of the attitudes of Iranians to national identity and thereby presenting an appropriate identity model in policymaking in order to protect national identity. Accordingly, the main research question is that with regard to the identity effects of globalization in Iran, which approach can be adopted by the Islamic Republic of Iran to maintain national identity. This research relies on the hypothesis that with respect to the effects of globalization on the identity perspectives in Iran, the Iranian government can adopt an inclusive approach to national identity and simultaneously emphasize on 3 tenets of being Iranian, Islamic, and modern in order to reinforce and encourage the tendency of the majority of society to Iranian national identity and protect that. The method of study is descriptive analysis and the research results show that due to the penetration of globalization into Iran and the spread of cyberspace (as a means of globalization), the outlook of Iranian society on the principles of Iran’s national identity has been transformed. As a result of this situation, the bonding between people and their former principles as being Iranian and Muslim has weakened and instead, their tendency to the principles of modernity is reinforced. If a suitable approach is not adopted to this issue by the Islamic Republic of Iran, it can lead to the deterioration of national identity. For the sake of maintaining Iran’s national identity, the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran should simultaneously pay attention to all tenets of identity. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of the present study is to investigate the transformation of national security discourses in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Using descriptive analysis, this research study aims to critically explore the existing theories in this regard and come up with a new model to analyze the course of change in national security discourses in the Islamic Republic of Iran. In this regard, this perspective is emphasized that we have always witnessed the presence of two rival discourses in the realm of politics and among the elites such that the course of discourse change cannot be analyzed in a single developmental path. The two rival discourses have been classified by some into either traditional-modern or revolutionary-national. However, the analysis of them indicates that they can be regarded as either identity-oriented or development-oriented. In reality and practical form, development in the Islamic Republic of Iran has always been categorized within the arguments and measures of the two security discourses mentioned above so that it has led to opposite ideas and incongruous policy making to achieve long term security and developmental objectives in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Because of this, one of the main features of national security issues in the Islamic Republic of Iran is lack of common consensus among the elites on the concept of national security, security policies, threats, and vulnerabilities causing crisis at the time of two aforementioned discourses’ domination.

        The purpose of the present study is to explain the relationship between the BRICS members and the Islamic Republic of Iran. The research relies on the hypothesis that the relation between BRICS and the Islamic Republic of Iran is defined within the framework of foreign relations between Iran and the BRICS nations. The method of study is descriptive analysis and the results show that although the BRICS is against the U.S unilateralism, it does not seem to have sufficient resources or be able to moderate the effects of U.S sanctions against Iran as much as it is expected. Among the BRICS states, Russia indirectly benefits from the U.S sanctions against Iran as Iran’s failure to produce more natural gas as well as its financial and technological failures to complete energy projects in near future would lead to a regional and global market in favor of Russia and to the detriment of Iran. On the other hand, the BRICS members have long-term plans to prevent the U.S unilateralism while they have not cut their political-economic relations with the U.S and have not challenged the structure of the international system. According to the approach of constructivism, the leaders ought to observe the norms of international structure in order to gain more benefit for their country as the constructivists hold that the countries’ foreign policy and their close relations in the international level take a serious form in terms of their common approaches. It is evident that the BRICS members take this fact into account and thereby they would not get into an ideological fight with the U.S in the international arena. Therefore, the relations with the BRICS countries would have no extreme and ideal effect on the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study is to compare the government and economic development programs in the Islamic Republic of Iran and Malaysia. Understanding the pillars of power and government and its characteristics in the Islamic Republic of Iran and Malaysia, recognizing the similarities and differences between the factors of progress and development in Iran and Malaysia, understanding the Malaysian development model of Mahathir Mohammad and the Islamic Republic of Iran and providing appropriate strategies for further development and progress in the Republic Islamic Iran are of the other objectives of this research.The research method was analytical-comparative and the results showed that the Islamic Republic of Iran during Hashemi Rafsanjani (1989-1997) with the implementation of the first 5-year development plan and with the emphasis on open economic policy, mostly considered the economic development of the country, but less attention was paid to socio-cultural issues; and Seyyed Mohammad Khatami (2005-2007) while expanding relations with foreign countries, focused more on political development and strengthening of civil institutions inside the country. In both periods, the program was not implemented precisely and parts of it were implemented in accordance with the discourse of governments.But Malaysia during the reign of Mahathir Mohamad succeeded in pursuing its economic growth and development in the best possible way due to: first, following Japan and South Korea models and relying on the policy of having an attitude to the East, and second, creating a legitimate bureaucratic power and a fully developed government, which is measured by the credibility of political experts and scholars. Third, with precise planning and commitment to the program, and fourth, developing relations with neighboring countries and major powers such as the United States to attract foreign investment.   Manuscript profile

        The present study aims to examine the position of the Supreme Leader in the structure of the Islamic Republic of Iran from the perspective of a nodal point. The research method is descriptive-analytical and is based on the hypothesis that leadership, as the main factor preserving the identity and unity of the nation, plays the role of the nodal point in the existing political structure. Ayatollah Khamenei, as the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has a significant role in guiding the nation, regulating the relationships among the branches of government, and managing crises. In his capacity as a leader, with legal and supra-institutional authority, he has performed vital functions during the Islamic system's passage through crises over the past three decades. Considering the importance of the nodal point in creating a sense of integration that is identity-forming and identity-preserving, it appears that the leadership acts as a kind of junction, organizing a vast number of floating signifiers, that is, a multitude of ideological elements within a unified domain. Additionally, the Supreme Leader, in fulfilling the role of the nodal point and executing specific functions, has played a unique role in the political system of the Islamic Republic, creating synergy and unity of action among the branches of government and officials, and thereby contributing to stability, security, and progress.

        The purpose of the present study is to review the Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia's foreign policy in the Middle East to find an optimal strategy for the Islamic Republic of Iran in front of Saudi Arabia. The method of study is descriptive-analytic and the SWOT model was used for the analysis of the foreign policy strategies of the two countries. The results showed that a mixture of constructive interaction and controlling policies can be the optimal strategy for the Islamic Republic of Iran in front of Saudi Arabia in the current condition. Following the biphasic policy of constructive interaction and control in relation with Saudi Arabia requires emphasis on cooperation between two countries in fighting against Islamophobia, providing the security of the Persian Gulf, and maintenance of the environment; however, the contemporary acceptance of the opposite party should not be regarded as a defeat.

        The purpose of the present study is to identify likely structures for the future international system and to understand their effectiveness on Iran’s opportunities and limitations. The methodology of the present research is qualitative that has used a futurologist scenario to identify likely structures of the international system. The main research question is: what are scenarios that can change the international system and what will be their consequences and effects on Iran’s relations and acting? The research results show that the occurrence of the scenario of a multipolar international system is more likely than a bipolar or unipolar one. In each scenario, countries have 3 general options: companionship including union or following, competition including creating balance, tolerating the challengers, and adopting an opposition policy towards the existing pole or poles in the world. The scenario of a multipolar world will bring the most capabilities and opportunities for Iran while the unipolar scenario led by the U.S will increase Iran’s limitations. On the other hand, the bipolar scenario compared to the unipolar one led by the U.S enhances Iran’s opportunities. Iran’s membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization will assist Iran to create more opportunities to meet its national interests through the bipolar scenario revolving around the U.S and China.

        The objective of this research is to politically assess the strategic approach and positions of the Islamic Republic of Iran concerning the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). The research method is descriptive-analytical, and the findings indicate that the mutual interests of Iran and the two major powers within the SCO, Russia, and China, in preventing American influence in Southwest Asia, particularly Central Asia, have brought them closer together within the framework of bilateral relations and also within the SCO. To counter American hegemony at the regional level and ensure its national interests against the security threats posed by the United States, the Islamic Republic of Iran has taken steps towards permanent membership in the SCO. Permanent membership in the SCO has provided structural opportunities for Iran, which, on one hand, can create a balance against American hegemony in the region with the support of the powers within this structure, and on the other hand, enhances Iran's political and security status in Central Asian equations and Middle Eastern developments. Therefore, with the aforementioned high capacities in the Middle East region, Iran has the necessary strategic capability to become a regional power. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of the present study is to review challenges and strategies for informed political participation in the election system of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The research method is descriptive-analytic and it relies on the hypothesis that the election system in Iran, in the lack of political parties, is often under the influence of cultural, ethnic, and religious fads and is finally conducted without awareness and in a massive and wide spread way. Some of the proposed strategies in this article include the necessity of referring to other institutions and gatherings such as shopkeepers, mosques, journals, and mass media which can somehow perform special functions of parties like giving information, enhancing political perception, decreasing fads, and removing political indifference among people. The results indicate that as for voters, political participation in Iran faces predicaments such as nativism, ethnocentrism, lack of information, and unawareness. The predicaments related to candidates involve the high number of volunteers, dishonesty in speech, and injustice in campaign procedure. Manuscript profile

        The Islamic Republic of Iran, as a new government, has complexities, and it is important to understand and understand these complexities and the relationship between "Jihadist political Islam" and "Republicanism". It is also important to gain this understanding in order to better understand the functioning of the Islamic Republic of Iran and to understand these complexities these principles must be recognized and their origin properly understood. Accordingly, the main purpose of this article is to understand the basic foundations of government in the Islamic Republic of Iran. This article analyzes the foundation of the government in the Islamic Republic based on the method of Laclau and Mouffe's discourse and examines it in the form of alternative discourse for other competing discourses. Accordingly, the central sign of the discourse of the Islamic Revolution is "Jihadist political Islam" which is manifested by the establishment of the Islamic Republic in the jurisprudence of the province. The government in the Islamic Republic of Iran has drawn a paradigm shift from all previous models. This was due to the development of the discourse following the Islamic Revolution and the centralization of the Velayat-e Faqih. Therefore, it should be borne in mind that the political system based on the jurisprudence of the jurisprudence is an alternative to all its earlier discourse patterns and those of its rival discourses.

        The author of article has tried to clarify on a subject-based method two features of citizenship features that is membership and partnership by presenting sources and Shiite legal-jurisprudent principles and by arranging its inclusions. Therefore, author has drawn this conclusion that membership is meant based on two bases of acquired nationality and subjected nationality because in the former, resolve, belief and faith remain as foundations meaning that every individual can embrace Islamic nationality by accepting Islamic ideology and receive membership in the Islamic community through a voluntary pledge (faith). In subjected nationality, people who want to co-live with Muslim citizens without having Islamic belief are allowed to take part in the Islamic community under circumstances and conditions (faith). Besides, conclusion drawn is that citizens are not restricted in participation, but they have limitations in right of partnership in political administration or right of being elected in political occupations (or partnering) and they cannot participate to occupy offices of nation’s political management only because they are citizens.

        It seems necessary to recognize stands and functions of US and EU as to their role-plays as two major effective actors in international order. Some of the important international issues such as terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, Middle East peace process and particularly Iran and our country’s nuclear program have found considerable amount of capacities of US-EU foreign policy and diplomacy. Both powers try to pursue in their own specific way their interests and benefits in dealing with important matters of the world. In different times, this differential method has led to differences between both powers in global issues which if not scientifically checked shall be mistaken at the surface level or deeply and in the way of approaching them. Therefore, recognizing new and old areas of differences and their causes seems necessary so that the level and scope of these differences at different times might be learned by looking into these cases and a more realistic recognition can be reached.

        The governance gap is one of the most important political damages that can occur in a political system. These gaps arise due to the lack of a general agreement on the sources of power and how to distribute it, and arise from the inability of the political elites to provide a correct understanding of these issues. Therefore, when a military is faced with this injury, it suffers major problems in various fields, both domestic and foreign. In the Islamic Republic, in spite of the over-discourse of the Islamic Revolution for relatively long years, there has been no consensus among the political elites in various fields or it has been very weak, and this has led to the creation of various sub-discourses. These sub-discourses in conflict with each other have blocked the way to the correct policy making and have caused confusion in domestic and foreign policies. The present article, with the discourse method, while referring to these sub-discourses, seeks to understand the results of this governance gap in Iran's policies in the region and the Islamic world with the hypothesis that: "The governance gap in the Islamic Republic of Iran causes a decrease in the influence of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the region and This issue weakens the position of aligned Islamic countries and strengthens competitors."

        Abstract Crime prevention is one of the main strategies in criminal policy which has been always paid attention for the purpose of controlling the criminal activity. The significance of this strategy is so considerable that the prevention of crime has been officially recognized beyond the Acts of Parliament i.e. constitutional law. Economic, social and cultural roots cause the emersion of the crime problem which the social prevention method seeks to identify and neutralize. This method is one of the best and most effective methods. Because fighting the cause is always better and more effective than fighting the effect. Social crime prevention is a strategy that in its current, simultaneously, with the recognition the basic social, economic and cultural rights of the citizen, prevention programs are enacted. The occurrence of prevention has requirements. Providing the basic rights such the right to engage in work, the right to adequate housing, the right to social security, the right to education and etc. are of these requirements. This article investigates the issue of social prevention of crime and its context in the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran using descriptive-analytical method. Manuscript profile

Therefore, the issues should be designed locally or the ideas should be localized in a proper way and appropriate to the culture and religion of the country, so that the desired result can be obtained from them. The meaning of localizing the theory of social control of crime (Hirschi) is to benefit from the policies and measures derived from these theories in the field of crime prevention and control. The purpose of localization of this theory is to localize the theory, because the theory does not belong to one's own country and it was formed based on the problem of other countries and proceeded based on the belief and cultural foundations of that country and provided a solution, in this case it should be Let's give it a native appearance to be localized, but its essence will not change.

        Referring to the legal structure of official and legal authorities in political systems is a question that can be answered by reflecting on the philosophical-political thought of the separation of powers and also by analyzing the text of the constitution of political systems. In the American presidential system, the president is considered as the embodiment of unity and has a clear superiority over other heads of state. Also, extraordinary power has been given to the president in the following matters: implementing laws and monitoring their good implementation, directing the country's foreign policy and commanding the armed forces. This is despite the fact that in Iran's legal system, according to the requirements of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the position of leadership is the highest official and political position of the Constitution. In the meantime, the texture and structure of the constitution has been composed in such a way that it is not only limited to the cases mentioned in principles 110 and 112, but also any matter of public affairs, provided that it is within the framework of Islamic standards and is subject to public interest. be included in the aforementioned authority.

        The Islamic Revolution of Iran became bedrock of formation of the Islamic Republic due to its leaders’ goals that includes concepts such as trust, participation and norm, which are considered as the main indicators of social capital. Actually, it is the goal setting of the leaders, based on using the existing social capital towards themselves, against the Pahlavi government. The question is, what is the position of social capital in the Islamic Republic of Iran? And what is the benefit of it in the direction of goals? Findings show that despite the fundamental role of social capital in the victory of the Islamic Revolution and the establishment of the system, social capital and its indicators has been associated with instability in use. In fact, reviewing the necessity of social capital in planning affairs as a reliable support is inevitable.

        The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate US economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which was done by descriptive-analytical method. The main research question is: What effect has the US economic sanctions had on the Islamic Republic of Iran? The results show that the United States and the European Union have used cooperative mechanisms in the global system in the process of unilateral sanctions against Iran, and in this way, they have created conditions that changes in Iran's behavior patterns to transition from UN Security Council sanctions and unilateral US-EU sanctions are inevi­t­a­b­le. How­e­v­e­r, some analysts on Iran-US issues believe that a comprehensive proposal for the lifting of economic sanctions against Iran is possible. The current realities of international politics indicate that the United States prefers to use tactical models, step-by-step methods, and strategic persuasion processes in dealing with Iran.

        The legal status of the Strait of Hormuz, considered an international strait, is affected by the rights of international waterways. The security of Iran and the region are interdependent and the international law of the seas does not accept this, except in exceptional cases during armed conflict and only through inspections of ships. Findings show that the issue of sovereignty over the seas surrounding their land has long been the focus of lawyers and politicians and various theories and doctrines have been put forward. The Strait of Hormuz is of particular security importance internationally and it is the most important shipping bottleneck in the world and the countries of the region and the world depend on it for exports and imports. The most important reason for its superiority over other straits is the strategic location of the Persian Gulf. That adds to the importance of the gorge as an area with the largest proven reserves of energy and the role of the Strait of Hormuz in this strategic region as a link between the Persian Gulf and the energy transmitter of this region to the world.The purpose is to identify the role of the Strait of Hormuz in securing the Islamic Republic of Iran.

        One of the methods of foreign policy analysis of the Islamic Republic of Iran is to explain the central strategies on the basis of which many actions and reactions of foreign policy can be understood and examined. The strategy of detente in the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran from 1989 to 2005 and also from 2013 until now, is one of these strategies with different titles such as "interactive developmentalist" policy and "interaction-oriented moderation" as important. The most foreign policy strategy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in those periods is considered. Therefore, the way of recognizing and theoretically explaining this strategy can help us to understand Iran's foreign policy more than before. In this article, we seek to explain the concern that de-escalation in the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran can be analyzed on the basis of what theoretical approach? Our findings suggest that the critical hermeneutic approach based on communicative action can be used as a useful theoretical framework for the study of detente in the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In this article, with descriptive-analytical method, de-tensioning in Iranian foreign policy based on critical hermeneutics focusing on topics such as communicative rationality and Habermas theory of communicative action, Hashemi Rafsanjani pragmatic discourse, Khatami discourse based on communicative rationality and ethics, discourse diplomacy , And the spiritual discourse of moderation and constructive interaction with the world, etc. are discussed in this article.

        The concept of justice and the system based on it has always been one of the important topics of political thought and philosophy. John Rawls, one of the greatest contemporary political philosophers of the West, in his book Justice as Fairness, tries to explain in a political understanding of justice, the necessities of realizing the greatest possible freedom and equality for the citizens of a democratic society.The main question is to what extent is it possible to infer the justice system as fairness according to Rawls from the discourses of the Islamic Republic? In this connection, one of the main topics is the discussion about the ratio of public interests and individual and group interests, because according to Rawls, the justice system is the institutionalized area of public interests, which is due to the institutions of the basic structure of society, which is also associated with the existence of the country or The existence of the nation-state is ongoing. In this regard, the opinions of Morteza Motahari and Abdullah Javadi Amoli, two well-known clerics, have been examined as the main conceptualizers of the analysis of the discourse of justice, from which the possibility of extracting a theory of justice close to justice as fairness can be calculated. The result is that Motahari's point of view is more capable of interpreting the justice system as fairness in the discourse of political Islam than Javadi Amoli's point of view. Manuscript profile

        In Weberian viewpoint personalist rule and its extreme version, sultanism, is a type of traditional authority which also according to the theorists of comparative politics and government of the 20th century, should be placed in the category of non-democratic regimes. These regimes are usually characterized by personalization of power, institutional weakness, political corruption, use of violence and coercive instruments and so on. In Iran, the first personalist government was Reza Shah’s absolutist state which was established as the result of 1299 coup d’état, after that, by relying on modern army, the foundation of a new dynasty was set up and the path was paved toward authoritarianism. Although this army tried to secure Pahlavi's dynasty by 1332 and 1359 coup d’état but this key institution in Pahlavi's presonalist state finally failed to rescue it from overthrow. The main purpose of this article is to answer this question and other similar ones. To do so, in comparative perspective and by using theoretical models of theorists like Janowitz, Huntington and especially A. S. Finer, we try to study three coup d’état in terms of leadership, ideology and the extent of soldier's intervention in politics and also the role of foreign powers in establishing this trend.

Findings in this research are indicative that the Islamic principles are reflected in the warp and woof of constitution. Electivity of the office of supreme leader, presidential, congressional, city councils, official recognition of the individual right and liberty are the most important reflection of Islamic system having its roots deep in the rules and regulations of religion. The necessitation of enacting all constitutional articles and civil laws in accordance to the laws and principles of religion, and also the constitutional requirement of the head of the state to be selected from among the highest religious Jurists are all a clear manifestation of religious principles in the constitution.

        The current research set out to identify and rank motivational factors that may reinforce talented individuals to work at the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting Company (IRIB) through Delphi Ranking. In the first stage of the study, a comprehensive interview was conducted with a purposive sample of 30 experts based on which 245 related factors were initially detected through qualitative coding method. Next, similar factors were eliminated leading to 64 unique factors which were subcategorized into three major categories.  The second and third stages of the study involved scrutinizing the five main factors in each category. Further, the identified factors were ranked and the calculation of the Kendall coefficient indicated a strong consensus among participating experts. Ultimately, three main factors were delineated including those influencing the occupational nature and space, the main factors governing organizational structure and those impacting remunerations, extra benefits and welfare facilities. Taking these factors into account can function as added incentive for the talented to cooperate with the IRIB that might be considered as a creative industry with human capital as the strongest predictor of its success.   Manuscript profile

        Some of the criminal examples in the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, according to the thought approach that governs the policy-making procedure an leads it in the direction of differentiating the crimes, have been brought to the attention of the legislators in such a way that, while emphasizing the maintenance of public order, it also affects maintenance of the order of military units. In other words, in some cases, if there is no emphasis on dealing with it, military crimes can cause disturbances in public order, which include traditional espionage and computer espionage. The research methodology in this study is descriptive-analytical through library and survey studies. In the criminal system of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in addition to the Law on Punishment of Armed Forces Crimes approved in 2003, the Law on Computer Crimes approved in 2009 also covers the commission of computer espionage by military personnel. The findings of the present research indicate that in the Criminal Law of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the perpetrator of the crime of traditional espionage and computer espionage can be a military person or a civilian. The criminal policy governing the crime of espionage in the Criminal Law of the Armed Forces approved in 2012 is a strict criminal policy. Manuscript profile

        Despite the unprecedented ups and downs experienced by Iran and Syria in recent years, the strategic relations between Iran and Syria are considered to be a perfect example of the most unbreakable bilateral relations in the security environment of West Asia, which in the post-crisis environment requires more special role-playing, management and engineering than before in order to consolidate the achievements. . The current research aims to investigate and analyze the foreign policy of the Republic of Iran in Syria in the post-ISIS era, and has raised the question, "How are Iran's behavioral requirements for the post-crisis management of Syria evaluated?" Using the method of descriptive and library study and as a possible answer, the present research proposes the hypothesis that despite the success of the Islamic Republic of Iran in preventing the fall of the political system under the guidance of " Bashar Assad", the continuation of the obtained political-military achievements requires a comprehensive strategy based on the internal considerations of the Syrian society based on common cultural, religious and geopolitical interests and characteristics.

        One of the most important issues in international relations is the concept of "power". Joseph Nye's initiative in separating hard power from soft power gave new form to the definition of power. Sports diplomacy is considered as one of the key ways of forming soft power and countries are trying to find solutions to reduce tensions, political, economic and social effects with other actors in this supply. The strong presence of Iranian national teams, especially wrestling, in popular international events such as the Olympic Games has created an opportunity for sports to help improve Iran's position in the new world structure, even reducing tensions with its longtime enemy, the United States. Therefore, the present study seeks to answer the question that what role did the soft power of sports diplomacy, especially wrestling, play in Iran-US relations from 1998 to 2013? Studies using the soft power theoretical framework showed that the main hypothesis about the impact of wrestling on the formation of the soft power of sports diplomacy, at critical times and at the lowest cost has helped to improve Iran-US relations. This study also offers suggestions for better use of ship soft power to reduce problems in Iran-US relations. Manuscript profile

        Abstract One of the ways to strengthen peace and security in national and international level is creation of agreements in disarmament and arms control. Arms control and disarmament both are important and effective instruments in security of the countries from the view point of process, content and regulations because on the one hand it removes the ambiguities in the military and foreign policy behavior of the governments and increases the stability and on the other hand membership in these treaties have particular security implications like the Non-Proliferation Treaty which relatively limits the sovereignty of the countries. The present article by a descriptive-analytical method wants to illustrate the security implications of the membership of Iran in disarmament and arms control treaties. Iran by joining the membership of Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1968 has accepted specific security obligations. The present article by examining security implications of Iran’s membership of Non-Proliferation Treaty has arrived at this conclusion that the above treaty besides weakening and limiting the security of Iran undermines military, scientific and industrial power also.   Manuscript profile

        Abstract: After the victory of the Islamic revolution fundamental changes took place in foreign policy of Iran. Pursuing nuclear program was one of the sign of these developments, which created a concern in European Union and as a result led to a security challenge for Iran. The fear from Iran who possesses nuclear technology drove the green continent towards a coalition with the United States and some of Iran's neighbor particularly the conservative Arab governments. With the turn in European Union foreign policy towards Iran, Iran also revised its policies towards her friends and the possible foes. On this basis the present article wants to examine the opportunities and limitations of relations of Iran with the European Union under the impact of nuclear program. The basic strategy of the European Union in regard to nuclear program is preventing Iran acquiring the potential to produce nuclear arms. With this objective in view the European Union makes use of different tools like sanctions, negotiations and supporting Iran's rival. Part of this policy making of the European Union has undergone changes under the impact of Iran's relations with China, Russia and also confrontation or interaction with the United States in medium term.

        Abstract: In recent years, Iran’s nuclear policy has become one of the most important and controversial issues in international relations so that it is being discussed in most international meetings despite the absence of Iran. Some believe that Iran’s nuclear policy and way of decision making about the alternative choices cannot be explained on the basis of existing theories of decision making or analytical paradigm; therefore, there is the need for a new theory and different decision making approach. The present article initially introduces and explains principles and assumption of “cybernetic theory of decision” then it concludes that this theoretical framework has a better explanative ability for examining the nuclear policy of Iran. The authors are of the view that within the framework of cybernetic theory focusing on vital variable of “obtaining nuclear fuel cycle” has been the pivot of Iran’s nuclear policy. Manuscript profile

        Abstract The relations between Iran and Russia have existed from long time back in several sphere and most of the time Russia had the upper hand. The occurrence of Islamic revolution in Iran changed the pattern of our foreign relations. Iran and Russia continued their relations thereafter despite mutual suspicions about each other with ups and downs.

In this direction last year several economic sanctions were imposed on Russian Federation. This forced Russia to substitute the Western partners with Eastern countries. This question apparently brought Russia closer to Iran. The present article wants to answer this question that what has been the impact of sanctions imposed on Russian Federation on relations with Islamic Republic of Iran. The underlying hypothesis is that the sanctions imposed by Western countries forced Russia to improve her politico-economic relations with Iran and has led to closer relations between the two.

Iran has not succeeded. The most important assumption should be made on the structure and the transnational nature of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its intellectual foundations, because this structure, behind its political ideology, which came from the Islamic Revolution of Iran and religious teachings, rather than the concepts of national unification emanating from history, The culture, language and mythological system existing in a common geographical border relies on values and principles that are transnational and global and can influence from a small group to the whole world.

        The present study seeks to answer the question why the European Union, despite its political will to expand relations with Iran and in particular its efforts to maintain BRICS within the framework of the designed mechanisms, failed to exercise its strategic independence and fulfill its obligations within BRICS. The findings show that the EU's lack of strategic independence is due to the EU's transatlantic dependence on three levels of institutional security deficit, asymmetric interdependence in the economic sphere, and the preferences of EU transnational corporations in relation to US markets. At the level of the institutional security deficit; Given the United States' security umbrella and lack of military-defense independence, the European Union is forced to adjust its approaches to US interests and goals. At the economic level; The interdependence of economic, trade, and investment interactions on both sides of the Atlantic and the asymmetry of this relationship (US strategic economic superiority) have severely limited the possibility of EU economic action independence. The third level concerns the preferences of the market and the private and transnational corporations of the European Union and the rational and risk-taking pattern of companies under secondary US sanctions, which has been a major obstacle to the independence of the EU approach to Iran. The research method is descriptive-analytical and the method of data collection is library. In this regard, books, articles, documents, Internet resources and comments of relevant officials have been used to collect data. Manuscript profile

        143 - Deterrence as a Security-defense Strategy of the Islamic Republic of Iran: Challenges, Requirements, and its Strategic Model
        Masomeh Ansarifard امیر محمد Haji-Yousefi

        Since the collapse of the bipolar system and the change in "system arena" and "issues in the new world system", the Middle East has changed into one of the main bases for implementing the new deterrence strategy. Thus, the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is located in the disputed region of the Middle East, has highlighted deterrence to ensure its security. The present qualitative study aims to see whether Iran's current strategy is consistent with the components of the “new deterrence” by considering identity-, authority-, and interest-based approaches in national, regional and international levels. In this regard, the main hypothesis raised is Iran's security-defense strategy is inspired solely by the military component of deterrence, not all of the new components of deterrence. In other words, the synergy of all dimensions including the military, political, and economic dimensions of Post-Cold War Deterrence did not exist in the strategic equation of Iranian deterrence,and deterrence for Iran has been a military response to deterrent actions of extra-regional adversaries and their regional allies.In this regard, the present study seeks to achieve a comprehensive understanding of deterrence and its evolution with a pathological approach in order to explain the appropriate model of deterrence in Iran. Based on the results, Iran's performance is more based on the requirements of asymmetric warfare than deterrence due to the increasing impact of both regional and international environments on the national environment.Further, the success of Iranian deterrence relies on the use of "deterrence with denial" versus "deterrence with punishment."

        According to the evolution of the global political economy, proper understanding of the foreign policy category of the Islamic Republic of Iran as an oil-based government and its relationship with the economic system is doubly important. Cox's votes seem to provide a good platform for understanding how this relates to us. The present article raises the key question of what effect does foreign policy have on the reproduction of the oil-based production system in the Islamic Republic of Iran? According to Cox's views, it seems that the structure of oil-based production, by establishing social relations of production and government configuration, has a fundamental impact on the formation of foreign policy in Iran, and in contrast, the action of foreign policy with its policies to It reproduces this economic system. In on this basis, the hypothesis of this study is that the action of foreign policy in Iran in the continuation of social relations of production, has sought to reproduce the structure of production and monopolize the government's use of oil resources. the purpose of this article is understanding the relationship between foreign policy and the oil-based production system in Iran, so it forms an exploratory research based on a retroductive strategy.The findings of the paper, with the emphasis on the Cox's views, show that the interests and tendencies of the dominant classes and social forces in oil-based social relations production in the Islamic Republic of Iran have a fundamental impact on foreign policy action in reproducing the oil-based economic system.

The results of the research show that the main problem of Iran's foreign policy towards the United Nations is its sinusoidal nature. And the solution to this problem is that Iran can play a more effective role in the United Nations by changing its sinusoidal foreign policy towards the organization and trying to establish various consultations for its reform.

        Abstract With the onset of what is known as the Arab Spring, it was inevitable for Iran and Saudi Arabia to play a role. These two important countries in the region took completely different positions regarding the current developments in the crisis-affected countries, including Yemen. After Iran's support for Ansarullah, Saudi Arabia launched a military attack on Yemen in April 2014. After 6 years of war, Saudi Arabia shifted towards engaging in political dialogue with the Yemeni side. The main issue of this article is why this change occurred. In response to this problem, using the explanatory-analytical method, it is argued that factors at three levels of analysis - domestic (Saudi Arabia), regional, and international - led to the Saudi military attack on Yemen and subsequent changes at these three levels. It is mentioned that this caused Saudi Arabia to opt for diplomacy. Meanwhile, Iran's role is examined at the regional level of analysis. Manuscript profile

        Abstract: After the breakup of the Soviet Union and the emergence of the five new countries in Central Asia, a new chapter in Iran's relations with these countries arose. The issue of relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Tajikistan has always been of great importance, first of all due to the historical, cultural and linguistic ties between the two countries, and the fact that Tajikistan is the only Persian language in Central Asia, which has a distinct status with other countries in the area. Central Asia is one of the areas that has a growing place in regional and international relations and is now considered one of the most important regional sub-systems. The foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Tajikistan, on the one hand, is based on the convergence factors in the political, economic and cultural spheres of the opportunities and areas of influence and cooperation, and on the other hand, due to divergent factors, faces challenges and threats that faced about it. This has always been influential in the direction of Iran's foreign policy in Tajikistan. This paper identifies the most important factors of the convergence and divergence of the advancement of Iran's foreign policy to a general assessment of the policy adopted in Tajikistan.

        Abstract Over the recent years, expansion of neo-terrorist groups in the Middle East has shaped a wave of various security threats in the area. Although credible news has been published on downfall and destruction of organizational and logistical cores of these groups in Iraq and Syria, there are valid documents suggesting that scattered actions still continue by currents depended on ISIS. Various researches were carried out focusing on root causes of development of neo-terrorism and several measures were taken to confront terrorist acts. Nevertheless, at regional level, there is no effective experiment available on investigations and measures taken to identify the nature of insecurity. This is a qualitative research conducted with descriptive-analytic approach aimed at finding how did identity insecurity of Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia influence the development of neo-terrorism in the Middle East?

        As neo-conservatives entered the White House, many of Barack Obama's policies of democracy, dialogue, and de-escalation replaced policies that actually exacerbated challenges with American rivals. For example, the intensification of economic competition with the People's Republic of China, the failure of a strong alliance with the European Union, and ultimately the intensification of challenges with the Islamic Republic of Iran. In this article, the authors seek to answer the question of what is the policy of the Islamic Republic's approaches to US neoconservative threats, especially after Trump's entry into the White House. This article by using analytical-descriptive theory and written and virtual sources try to answer this question. The authors hypothesize that US threats to the Islamic Republic of Iran will never take place in the military dimension, and the findings of the article also show that the Islamic Republic of Iran's defense action against US military threats is based on three major principles. First, The Increasing Power of the Missile and Deterrent System of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Second; the broad coalition of Shiite resistance in the region; Third, the fragile nature of the United States in the region; and Fourth, the bitter experience of US presence in the region, especially Iraq and Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, the Russian Federation has always been one of the most influential international players which has played a decisive role in this field. Hence, In this article the cause and manners of Russia's policies and actions toward the Syrian crisis have been studied. Besides, knowing the fact that developments in Syria and the Russian's approach to it, has direct and indirect implications for the national interests of the Islamic Republic of Iran, a comprehensive review of this topic has also been made. Anyway, the main issue is that what’s Russia's policy on the Syrian crisis and its consequences for Iran's national interests? The hypothesis suggests that Russia's policy in the Syrian crisis is an attempt to create a balance in the international system and confronting existing threats posed by the United States over the security and national interests of the country which is in line with Iranian policies that provide its national interests. Nevertheless, differences in the attitudes of the two countries and their types of activism can create challenges. Manuscript profile

        Abstract: Current study is aimed at evaluating the cooperation of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) with Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and its influence on security of Islamic Republic of Iran in a descriptive method. The results of study show that close cooperation of Southern Persian Gulf Countries with NATO has negative impacts on security of Islamic Republic of Iran and so limits the interests of Iran in the region. In current situations the operations of NATO in the region are challenging to national interests of Iran, and the attitude of Iran toward NATO as an organization under the direct influence of the United States, is a completely controversial one. Military presence of all high-ranking NATO members in Persian Gulf and Oman Sea and existence of their different defense treaties with Iran’s southern neighbor countries and independent common-wealth ones in North of Iran, especially with Azerbaijan, are examples of the military presence of NATO and its high-ranking members in borders of Iran. This can be considered as a threat against security of Islamic Republic of Iran. Financial and army supports of the U.S and its allies for Iraq during imposed war, supports of most of high-ranking members of NATO on Iran oppositions, their supports for territorial claims of Arab Countries on Persian Gulf Islands, unprecedented selling of modern weapons and army facilities to GCC member-states, their overuses of the human rights subject against Iran as a political means, their accusations based on Iran’s achievement to mass destruction weapons or Iran’s supports for terrorist attacks, are among negative elements of NATO attitude toward Iran. Presence in defense and security treaties of the region is among the most critical strategies of Islamic Republic of Iran to overcome new threats and to defuse enemies’ plots on ignoring Iran in regional relations.

        Abstract: Describing the dominant patterns of Iran-U.S relations after triumph of the Islamic revolution and even explanation of current situation between the two states through conventional foreign policy and international politics will lead to inefficient and inadequate researches. Although describing the historical facts and using realistic analyses to explain current non war- non peace situation are beneficent, but could not elucidate continuity of hostility situation between Iran and the United States. Analysis of this Iran-U.S extensive conflict and hostility requires focusing on material structures of power and geopolitical contrast in one hand and regarding the cognitive and nonmaterial fundamentals of action on the other hand. Without a doubt, current pattern of Iran-U.S relationship Influenced by both mentioned factors; this reciprocal process of impact with material and non-material elements of power and security have described this issue as a unsolved multi-faceted and multi-layered conflict. It seems that strategic culture framework as a pattern that mutually respect to state's objective, measurable and visible act alongside non material and invisible structures of practice can be useful to explain dimensions and causes of Iran-U.S conflict. According to this, the main agenda of this article is to illustrate a more detailed image about Iran-U.S conflict through a comparative Survey on elements and components of two state's strategic culture, with respect to significant security aspects of this conflict.

        Expeditiously regaining its position on the Energy market, Natural Gas has become a strategic commodity during recent decades. Hence Islamic Republic of Iran and the Russian Federation due to having this divine blessing, have got a special importance in this domain. Though Iran has not benefited from this strategic commodity in the International fields as expected; The utilization has been just limited to domestic usage. However, signing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action(JCPA), made new ways for industrial developments and exports ahead of Iran. Alongside the west, one of the key players in this field, is the Russian Federation. Therefore, the question arises that what’s the perspective ahead on the post JCPA Iran-Russia gas relations and in this regard, what are the policy making requirements for strategic partnership? Responsively, considering the increase in gas export capacity from post-JCPA opportunities, the two countries will have a simultaneously competitive and cooperative atmosphere; Meanwhile, the dominance of competition or cooperation depends on the political and security considerations of the two countries on different levels. At the moment the changes in Syria and Ukraine crises have provided a fertile ground for cooperation. Accordingly, the relations have led to the strategic partnership, for preserving and promoting, the respective policy makers should consider some requirements in the document of future perspective for gas policies.

        After World War II, especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States of America has always claimed supremacy in the international system and has explained its foreign policies based on the national security strategy in every presidential term. On the other hand, the Islamic Republic of Iran, as a regional superpower, has been able to create a new form of regional order with its material and spiritual influence in West Asian countries. The conflict between the interests of the United States and Iran raises the question that the national security strategies of the United States of America during the years 2001-2021 have become in practice what strategies have they turned into in relation to Iran? In response to the proposed hypothesis, "The United States of America, by adopting its aggressive national security strategies towards Iran, is seeking to limit Iran's interests in the international system so that it can increase its interests and finally become the supreme hegemon in The international system should be transformed." After examining the sources of the first category indicators (economic and security strategies) with the method of integrated content analysis (quantitative and qualitative), the results showed: America initially follows the policy of changing Iran's behavior and containment, and then the policy of engagement and pressure And finally, it turned into containment and behavior change, and in order to implement these strategies during this period, it has imposed more and more diverse sanctions against Iran every year Manuscript profile

        Israel is one of the most serious threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Since 1990 Israeli authorities have repeatedly announced that if Iran reach nuclear bomb and complete Bushehr nuclear plant, they will attack it. Iran's discourse after Islamic Republic revolution have been deeply affected by cultural – religious factors, Independence and rejection of the hegemonic discourse, the discourse of Islamism and ethnic supremacy negation, the unity of the Islamic Forum and supportive discourses towards Palestinians and the elimination of Israel and the rejection of all foreign forces from the region which are caused by this issue. On the other side Israelis have announced their animosity towards Iran. Based on current discourse in Israel, Israeli authorities have said these reasons as their animosity towards Iran: Iran's support from Palestinian groups who are against Israel, Iran's opposition for Middle East peace process, Iran's reach to nuclear weapon. But from the evidence it can be seen that the main factor is nuclear weapon. Israeli authorities are worried about radical Islamism and nuclear weapon. The main cause of military threat of Israel towards Islamic Republic of Iran is ideological which should be said is forever. The main question of this research is that what is the main reason of military threat of Israel towards Iran? the hypothesis that answers this question is that the most important reason for Israel to threaten Iran is identity and fearing Iran to be nuclear and breaking its monopoly, increasing Iran's power and isolation of Israel in the region. Based on this, with securitization of Iran's issue and magnifying its threat on others minds Israel tries to use all the instruments again Islamic Republic of Iran, while Iran is pursuing peaceful nuclear energy for research and development.

        The conflict in Syria, which first started with popular protests and then led to a civil war and the confrontation of armed opposition and terrorist groups with Bashar al-Assad's government, involved many actors in this conflict. Some countries supported the opposition of Bashar al-Assad and made every effort to overthrow the ruling system. There were actors who took a step towards the support and survival of Bashar al-Assad's government. The Islamic Republic of Iran was one of the leading actors of this front, which, upon entering the conflict scene, played a key and undeniable role in changing the conditions of the war. This research is based on the basis of why the Islamic Republic of Iran had a direct participation in the Syrian war and what theory can explain and analyze this participation? To answer these questions, Iran's approach after the Islamic Revolution should be examined. An approach that is based on resistance, negation of the domination system, deterrence, fighting against the Zionist regime, supporting liberation movements and increasing regional influence and power. Therefore, with the escalation of the conflict and war in Syria, the Islamic Republic of Iran, which considered the destruction of the Syrian regime to mean the weakening and disintegration of the axis of resistance, the reduction of its deterrent power and regional power, by calculating the ideological, geopolitical and strategic commonalities between itself and the regime Syria had an active and decisive participation in the crisis and provided the basis for the survival of the Assad regime and its strategic alliance with Syria.

             After the victory of Islamic revolution; a system was enacted that claimed to educate human beings and Islamize all social affairs and all fields of society. Aimed at realizing these goals; various policies were made and came into force. Despite many efforts; now it is obvious that the intended cultural objectives of Islamic republic of Iran have not been expectedly realized. This paper intends to investigate why there has been a challenge to the cultural reproduction process in the Islamic republic of Iran during the past three decades. The researchers have used a qualitative method and documentary studies and focused on the pluralization of internal structure of political system and its challenges to formulate, interpret, and administrate a consistent and efficient cultural policy. The studies indicate although there has been a relatively certain cultural pattern; cultural policies of Islamic republic of Iran in the last three decades were trapped both in compiling and administration levels and engaged in a disintegration and continuous ruptures and internal contradictions. Domination of this kind of conditions in the cultural policies will not be understood unless by putting the current trend of compiling and administration of cultural policies in the ground of political structure, internal contradiction and discourse disputes.    Manuscript profile

        One of the most important mechanisms and tools for attaining the goals of the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iranian which are based on fostering the Iranian-Islamic culture is to develop and pursue an effective cultural diplomacy. This is of critical importance in Sudan as one of the countries with the most permissive attitudes towards the Sufi movements. Despite the presence of two intellectual-cultural movements, Sufism and Shiasm in Sudan, currently the active presence of Wahhabi currents poses a serious threat to these two movements. It seems that pathology of the cultural diplomacy of Iran in Sudan could pave the way for development of cultural relations and countering the threats to the relationship between Iran and the Sudan.  In order to identify the opportunities and weaknesses of cultural diplomacy of Iran at Sudan, this study seeks to explain the cultural and religious movementsin this country.

          It is one of the most important mechanisms and means of acquiring foreign policy goals of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the formulation, regulation and implementation of effective cultural diplomacy as a prominent example of the supreme diplomacy and its soft power. Cultural diplomacy is conducted by governments, but it is sometimes performed by other non - governmental actors, which are regarded as a support for foreign policy objectives and means of public diplomacy. With the events of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, because of the nature of the revolution and ideological conflict with the USA, Western countries and their regional allies, Iran has been on the verge of fear as a form of Iran phobia, from opposites in the scope of States and Muslim and Non Muslim nations. The main question of this research is that “How was Iran’s cultural diplomacy confronting with Iran phobia? According to the research findings; which has been done using descriptive method; the research hypothesis is that, considering the favorable capacities of Iranian cultural diplomacy, the use of these capacities is passive because of the multiplicity of decision - making centers and has failed to serve as a tool in the service of public diplomacy and Iran's soft power, and using different tools, challenges to the Iran phobia and confront it.

        The Islamic Revolution of Iran, as a cultural revolution, assumes the primacy of cultural relations over other types of international relations to the Iranian system.

In the present study, cultural diplomacy in Iran has been explored in the Persian Gulf Arab countries, in order to identify its opportunities and challenges.The opportunities included in the two general "potential" and "actual" fields are some of which are: the existence of common cultural and social components between the Arab Gulf states, and between these countries and Iran, Iran's longstanding communications and popular relations between with the region and capacity of the Iranian and Gulf communities to help improve communication. Challenges are divided into three general categories: "insight", "orientation" and "action". The most significant challenges in this regard are: cognitive shortcomings (inadequate, old, etc.) about culture, cultural policy, and the coordinates of the Persian Gulf region, as well as the lack of consideration of desirable cultural performance requirements and the repetition of inappropriate processes.

        Political economy deals with the interaction of economics and politics, in which, ultimately, a political agenda is provided for the economy. From this point of view in contemporary times, various efforts have been made by Iran for sustainable development and several development plans have been written, but what is observed in practice not only does not have development, but has also been added to the country's problems. While explaining why, many factors may be involved, but since the Islamic Republic of Iran is considered as one of the developing countries, one can not overlook the special role of the government in development or inadequate development. Therefore, the present study, aimed at the pathology of non-development of Iran, presents the main question of how can Iran's failure to achieve sustainable development be assessed? In response to the above question, the research hypothesis states that the lack of attention to good governance indicators and in accordance with it, the low quality governance in Iran is one of the important factors that can contribute to this failure.

        Elleven septamber was just an accident, and the aftermath has been more of a reaction to the incident. The Islamic Republic has acted briefly in the neo-realist post eleven septamber era after eleven septamber, but based on the ideological approach of the Islamic Revolution, the country has always acted contrary to this theory and can be based on its performance as well as the data discussed in the research. Neoclassical realism has been the basis of Iran's foreign policy since eleven septamber. Iran's efforts to increase its regional role are aimed at enhancing relative security (defense realism). Following the Islamic Revolution and the ideological and strategic conflict with the United States, Iran sought to strengthen its asymmetric capability in the Middle East (aggressive realism) in order to weaken its military against the United States and confront the Western economic war. Supporting regional resistance groups irrespective of their ideology (religious sectarianism), the production and use of simple, low-cost weapons, and the proliferation of such weapons in the region (tendency and tendency for regional hegemony) are two important tactics in Iranian military doctrine. The battle is asymmetric.

        This article seeks to answer the question of how the institution of education can strengthen national identity in Iran. In general, according to this study, the institution of education as one of the most important factors in the transmission, development and promotion of culture, plays a key role in strengthening national identity and therefore no country, including Iran, can not benefit from this institution, To strengthen national identity. But the main point here is that this institution has weaknesses and shortcomings in the field of identity policy in the Islamic Republic, which has negatively affected its functioning in the field of promoting national identity. In general, the model of identity policy in the educational institution in the mentioned period, due to selectivity and one-sided emphasis on the Islamic dimension of national identity, has not been able to strengthen the tendency of many Iranians towards national identity as it should be. As a result, the strength of Iran's national identity will help. This has made it necessary to adopt a comprehensive and appropriate identity policy in this institution. Accordingly, the State of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as the custodian of education and training in Iran, can only adopt a non-selective identity policy in the institution of education in which attention is paid to all elements and components of Iran's national identity. It can help increase Iranians' belonging to their national identity and thus strengthen Iran's national identity. It should be noted that this article uses a descriptive-analytical method.

        Cyberspace as an emerging reality with its functions and shaping cross-border interactions, has been able to affect various aspects of human life, one of the most important of which is the field of national identity. The argument here is that borderless communication in cyberspace has led to changes in people's attitudes toward their national identity, and has therefore left many societies in the throes of a national identity crisis. The main point here is that cyberspace has also influenced the tendencies towards national identity in Iran, so that as a result of this influence, many Iranians have been exposed to fundamental questions about their national identity. In other words, the expansion of cyberspace and Increasing its use in Iran has been able to reduce the tendency of many Iranian users to their national identity. This situation has made it necessary for the State of the Islamic Republic to adopt appropriate policies in various fields in order to meet this challenge, which is one of the most important areas, the field of media.

In this article, we study this issue with a descriptive-analytical method, relying on written library resources and online articles. The results of the present study, taking into account the view of Alexander Went, confirm the dominance of the Hobbesian view or hostility over the Kantian view or friendship. Among the issues that have affected Iran-US relations and made the Hobbesian view of hostility or hostility prevail are the existence of fundamental ideological conflicts between the ideals of the Islamic Revolution and the American liberal system, the position of Israel and the Zionist lobby against Iran, the influence of the Gulf countries. Fars and led by Saudi Arabia, economic sanctions, threats of regime change, support for opposition groups, the martyrdom of Sardar Soleimani, Iran's isolation in the international arena and the US unilateral withdrawal from the Borjam agreement, which could improve relations between Iran and America is inconceivable.

        The relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia have faced many challenges in the last few decades. The use of sports and sports diplomacy has recorded a documented experience in the history of world sports diplomacy. Based on this, the current research seeks to answer the question of how sports diplomacy can be a suitable strategy for improving political relations with Saudi Arabia. The findings of the research, taking into account Alexander Van Moyd's point of view, are the predominance of Kantian's point of view or friendship over Lackey's point of view or competition based on sports diplomacy. In this article, according to the strategic requirements and regional considerations of Tehran and Riyadh, which want to normalize relations and end several years of hostility and competition, we use a descriptive-analytical method, relying on written library sources and internet articles on sports diplomacy. We have used it as a suitable strategy to improve political relations with Saudi Arabia. Manuscript profile

        The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the virtual neighbor of Islamic Republic of Iran, is cooperating with all our land and water borders. This organization, in its newest strategic notion, made efforts through a more political and global interpretation of its missions to provide the ultra-geographical legitimacy throughout the world. On the other hand, Islamic Republic of Iran and its resultant political Islam achieved more dynamic regional and international attendance following stability periods; thus, due to substantial differences of standards and thought criteria, it is identified as NATO’s ideological rival. In this regard, this paper studies the relationship of the third generation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization with Islamic Republic of Iran and raises the main question of what is the strategy of more political and global NATO versus Iran. Research main hypothesis, regarding content analysis and library method, is “the North Atlantic Treaty Organization tries to introduce Iran as a regional and global crisis by “securitization” strategy and geopolitically isolates Islamic Republic of Iran”. The findings demonstrate that NATO’s activities in recent years and developed military cooperation, information and security sharing with Iran’s neighbors can be analyzed; therefore, it is necessary that the authorities, mainly considering NATO’s activities across borders, identify and operationalize the strategy versus the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

        Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia as two regional and influential powers in the Middle East and Persian Gulf region have always had a tensional and confrontational rivalry towards each other, to the point that we can say that the competition and the divergence constitute a part of their bilateral relations. The ambition of both countries for the leadership of chia world or Sunni world, the huge oil resources and the considerable human sources are considered as their assets which have given them the potentiality to play an active role in the Middle East as well as in the Muslim World. As the activities of these two actors is considered generally as conflictual and computational, we can say that based on the constructivist theory, the absence of common values, norms, rules, identity and perceptions represent the main factors of their rivalry and the non-establishment of a solid relationship between two countries.   Manuscript profile
