To acknowledge the majority of strategic experts, "Hassan Nasrallah"; Secretary General of Hezbollah in Lebanon, Is an expert in psychological warfare that under certain conditions, easily changes equations of regional conflicts in favor of the resistance axis. This view from here derived that campaign politics is an arena of deception and dishonesty, it is well known to be truthful to; Extent that even Shimon Peres, the former head of the Zionist regime, described He's the most honest enemy of Israel as terms of consciousness and high-capacity regional and international developments in powers of analysis. Such thoughtfulness and deep political insight of Hassan Nasrallah led to his political forecasts in the field of international developments and in particular the future of the Zionist regime.

Syria's political and security developments and the growth of Salafist and Takfiri groups and its political, economic, and cultural dimensions have disturbed all the Middle East equations. In this regard, the role of radical Islamist groups, including ISIL and Jabhat al-Nusra, in the civil war in Syria and Iraq, along with changing the political and security equations of the Middle East, has also brought serious threats to international security. Given that the Central Asian region has been in the spotlight for a long time due to its geostrategic, geopolitical and geo-economic importance and in a sense, considered the heartland of the world; with facing many challenges such as ethnic and political crises, energy, drug trafficking, and terrorism, this is no exception. The Syrian civil war and the rise of ISIL led to a possible extension of the wave of Islamic extremism to the Central Asian region; To the extent that, many citizens and youths of the republics of this region have entered the stage of communication and cooperation with ISIL and the Jabhat al-Nusra in Syria and Iraq. In this way, the present study seeks to explain the future of political Islam in Central Asia in light of Syrian political and security developments. Given the presence and command of some of the Central Asian Islamist groups in the Syrian civil war, the spread of the threat of terrorism in the Central Asian region, Understanding of these groups, their recruiting factors to ISIL, and recognizing the future scenarios of political Islam in Central Asia confirms the need for this research.

West Asia as a geopolitical and geostrategic region is of particular importance in the equations of the world system and its developments have attracted the attention of regional powers, including Iran and Israel, and trans-regional powers; Therefore, Israel as a domineering regime and the Islamic Republic of Iran as an independent state is trying to manage the developments in this strategic region by using their hardware and software capacities to their advantage. Iran-Israel relations have had many ups and downs since the establishment of this regime. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, their relations were completely severed and their relationship entered a new round of overt regional and international competition. Using the theory of defensive and offensive realism, this research seeks to answer the main question of the research: What is the security competition between Iran and Israel in West Asia? Therefore, it is hypothesized that Iran competes with a defensive approach and Israel with an offensive approach in the security, political-military, economic and cultural-ideological fields.

Proxy wars are one of the most important components of war in the modern age, and what can be seen in the present century is the growing importance of this strategy; because it helps governments achieve their goals by spending less. There are differing views among international observers on the nature and position of this component. Some believe that proxy wars can be a theory or doctrine, while others see it as a politico-military strategy that fits aggressively realistic strategies. This type of conflict has become one of the common strategies in West Asia. Iran is one of the countries that use proxy wars to advance regional goals. Strategic and military support for proxy forces in Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen are clear examples of Iran's arms activities in West Asia, which seek to upset the balance of power to the detriment of the United States and the Zionist regime at the regional level. In addition to jeopardizing US interests in the region, it poses a threat to its allies, especially Israel and Saudi Arabia. The present study seeks to answer how proxy wars affect Iran's position in West Asia. The authors seek to investigate the impact of proxy wars on the regional position of the Islamic Republic, assuming that proxy wars lead to the strengthening of deterrent power and increase the regional power of Iran.

Before the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the two countries' foreign policies were defined under the banner of a bipolar system to preserve US interests in the region and establish a security order. The factors of oil, regional balance, Hajj, non-Arab and Arab confrontation, and the role of political elites in bilateral relations were also discussed. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution with its religious and democratic nature, the Islamic Republic was confronted with the political and religious existence of this country (Saudi). The threatening attitude of Saudi Arabia's regional rivals led them to pursue sometimes contradictory policies based on conservation of the Kingdom of Al-Saud. Thus, influenced by actors and events at three levels: domestic, regional, and international in political, economic, religious, and cultural dimensions, the foreign policies of the two countries have always had the same orientation. But after the Islamic Awakening in the Middle East subsystem and the disruption of the security order in the region, the foreign policies of the two countries has shifted in the other direction. This article introduces the main principles and factors that shape and influence the foreign policy of Iran and Saudi Arabia in both aspects of applied and declared foreign policy. Due to the many ups and downs in the foreign policy process of the two countries and its wide dimensions, the period in question has been considered since the coming to power of Salman bin Abdulaziz. The question that we are trying to answer in this article is what are the factors that determine the foreign policy of the two countries in this period? And how has each factor played a role in the foreign policy of the two countries?

Iran and Saudi Arabia are two long-standing powers in West Asia whose relations have had many ups and downs over different periods. The two long-standing powers of the region cannot ignore each other and are always in competition and achieving greater interests and influence in the region. In the meantime, several factors have affected this confrontation and hostility between the two countries, including these factors; there have been ideological differences and identity conflicts, geopolitical and geo-economics issues, the issue of Palestine and Israel, and the role of Saudi Arabia in regional orientations against Iran, and so on. But in the last two decades, one of the most important reasons and factors affecting relations between the two countries has been Iran's nuclear program. The nuclear program has made Saudi Arabia feel threatened by Iran's acquisition of a nuclear weapon and its loss of position and influence in the region. Saudi Arabia's first opposition to Iran's nuclear program came in the form of the Gulf Cooperation Council, which called for a ban on Iran's nuclear activities. Therefore, it is important to study the relations between the two countries as two influential powers in the region and the impact of the nuclear program on the relations between the two countries. This research seeks to examine the impact of the nuclear program on Iran-Saudi Arabia relations. Generally, can be concluded that the roots of the differences between the two countries are mainly ideological and based on security and political issues

Russia is the largest country in the world, on the two continents of Europe and Asia. Russia, despite great extent, from time immemorial has always been concerned about access to the seas warm the world, and Even "Ivan IV" as the founder of the country was forced to command a series of a failed expeditions to the Crimea. After that, "Peter the Great" Between 1700 and 1721 lunched bloody wars with Sweden over the Baltic Sea and After the victory, he was so concerned about access to open waters that he had to move the capital, St. Petersburg, and move Russia's political heart from Moscow to the Baltic coast. After Peter and the end of the Romanov dynasty, the Russians always considered access to hot water important, so that Russia's existence was linked to it. Perhaps this is why, during the Soviet era, Kremlin officials went beyond the development of the Crimean port region in southern Ukraine to consider building maritime terminals in Libya and Syria. Russia in the middle of the first decade of the new century after the internal crisis turned its attention to international issues. In the meantime, the Middle East, which is geographically located between Europe and East Asia, has once again come to Russia's attention. But with the recent developments in the Middle East, Moscow's military contracts and economic cooperation have shifted back to its traditional allies (such as Syria) in the region. In the new era, restored its relations with Syria. In this article, we intend to examine the geopolitical situation in Russia and answer the question: what factors have led to the Russian military presence in Syria? Factors directly related to the country's geopolitical characteristics, such as attention to Russian identity, Russia's inefficiency in resolving the Central Asian crisis, and Russia's turn to the Middle East, play an important role

Today, scientific diplomacy is a new concept in the field of foreign policy. In other words, a diplomacy is a tool for realizing foreign policy. On this basis, diplomacy meets foreign policy goals by transforming sources of power into real power. Scientific diplomacy affects the political and international relations of countries. History shows evidence and examples that have led to the strengthening of diplomatic relations and cultural and scientific exchanges. Thus, the main theme of scientific diplomacy is the use of the capacities of science and technology to achieve the goals of foreign policy and the interests of countries. It is the use of scientific power to develop and deepen diplomatic relations with other countries. In this regard, due to the cultural commonalities between Iran and the countries of the South Caucasus region, the growth and development of the entire region can be accelerated. Among the goals of Iran’s scientific diplomacy in the region are areas such as professors and students exchange, joint research and educational projects, joint distance education courses, joint scientific conferences, and facilitating the participation of professors in each other's scientific conferences. In this research, have tried to provide a comprehensive definition of scientific diplomacy and its important functions and components on a case-by-case basis to study Iran’s scientific diplomacy in the South Caucasus region.

The Syrian crisis may be the beginning of a new conflict of civilizations. Ethnic and religious pluralism is clearly evident in this country: Muslims (Sunnis, Druze, Alawites, Shiites and Ismailis); Christians (Orthodox, Catholics, Maronites, Protestants) and Turkmen and Kurdish ethnic minorities. The Syrian crisis of 2011 seemed to go against the ruling elite (Alawis). With the escalation of the conflict, the country gradually became the scene of a civil war characterized by international dimensions. In this way, the conflict became a multilateral battle in which, on the one hand, the participants in it were the local element in the form of the government of Bashar al-Assad and extremist terrorist groups such as Jabhat al-Nusra, ISIL and Ahrar al-Sham; and on the other hand, the United States and its European allies, Saudi Arabia and some States of the Persian Gulf; and Iran and the axis of resistance, as well as Russia and China.

To achieve national objectives and interests, different countries adopt specific orientations and strategies according to their domestic needs and geopolitical conditions, and based on the structure of the international system. In this regard, Iran's national power components, including strong national government, geopolitical position, and ideological elements, provides this country with a leading role in regional issues. Iran's strategic and geopolitical position, attained through its connection to some issues in the Middle East, provides it a context for serving the role of a regional player. This focus of Iran's foreign policy on regionalism safeguards the country's national interests in the long run. Thus, the Islamic Republic of Iran not only acts as a major player in the Middle East, but also upholds decisions to strengthen its position and to promote its national interests. At present, Iraq crisis is one of the central issues of Iran's foreign policy deci...

During the twentieth century, the world is watching developments, the opposite effect and at the same time was remarkable. So that the scale of the developments, by itself, are equal the events of the last century. World Wars, revolutions and conflicts and clashes between communities, are the most important developments in the nineteenth century. Despite the importance of some of these developments, they had limited impacts, but some others, while maintaining the internal dynamics of their evolution, a wide variety of processes have impressed the international system.

Emergence of transformation in world system followed by the breakdown of the East and the development of the field of collective and individual competitions among the governments in universal and regional levels and development of convergence processes in the behavior of the governments have prepared the requirements of alteration in analytical field and components and geopolitics effectiveness in the 3rd millennium; consequently, Islamic Republic of Iran and Russia Federation reinforce and strengthen mutual security and defensive cooperation based on the perception of their interior and exterior potentials. In fact, these two countries have numerous reasons and motivations for cooperation in the field of security and defense considering common and strategic benefits particularly in the field of Caspian Sea, Central Asia, Afghanistan, and Syria; as a result, defensive and security cooperation between Iran and Russia, has a vital and effective role in the strategies of two international and regional powers upon current equations and future transformations of the universe and region in such a way that strategic experts consider it as "a very significant transformation", "initiation of basic alterations" and "the beginning of a novel structure in the middle east"; consequently, the current research tends to assess pleasant, possible and probable scenarios in the relation of the mentioned countries while re-identifying defensive and security cooperation between Iran and Russia.

The Central Asia and Caucusus region is of great importance for both the regional and the extra regional powers such as the Federal Republic of Germany because of its strategic position and rich energy resources. The power vacuum resulting from the collapse of the Soviet Union caused these powers to try to expand their influence in the newly independent states in this region. For this purpose, they applied their planned economic and security policies in order to utilize the undesirable economic, political, and security situations in the countries of the region for their own benefits. The post-Cold War conditions and the German reunification were among the factors that created a new outlook in German foreign policy. After the German reunification, the Federal German Republic attempted to follow its foreign policy goals in the framework of strengthening German organizations. Therefore, from the start of the independence of the countries in the Central Asia Caucusus region, Germany played greater attention to them, and has always tried to expand its political and economic influence in this region. The easiest way for Germany to expand its relations with the Republics in the Central Asia and Caucusus region was to follow a course that would ultimately turn these countries into stable partners for Germany through economic, political, social, and security reforms that they undertook. The present research argues that economic policies are the essential requirement for the survival of foreign policy. Germany has attained economic interests in other countries of the world through utilizing its economic tools such as commercial companies, foreign trade development, and exports, and it has thus expanded its influence in the Central Asia and Caucusus region. The main question to answer is this: what are the major components of German foreign policy in the Central Asia and Caucusus region? Study of the ultimate economic, political-security, and cultural goals and interests of Germany will help to understand the main components of its foreign policy in this region.

After the unification, Germany's foreign policy took new directions and fundamental changes took place in Germany's security-political situation. Changes in the foundations of Germany's security policy can be seen in the "Weißbuch 2 " 1992, 2003, 2006, and most recently 2016.

Iranische Aussenpolitik entsteht aus stabilen und variablen Grundsätze. Angesichts der internationalen Lage wendet die Aussenpolitik die Strategien an, die zur Erreichung der vorgesehenen Ziele in nationalen Interesse liegen. Manche dieser Grundsätze sind in Aussenpolitik festgelegt, wie: Aufrechterhaltung der Territorialen Integrität der Länder und Verbündeten in der Region, gegen die Intervention der überregionalen Mächte, Zurückhalten Israel und Aufrechterhaltung der präventiven Politik gegen dieses Regime, Kampf gegen Iranophobia und Anti-Schiit. Die andere Grundsätze variieren je nach globalen Bedingungen. In der Tat haben (JCPOA) dem Iran ermöglicht, die Achse der Interaktionen und neuen Koordinaten in der Region zu werden. Hierfür ist eine Steigerung der Interaktionen und Zusammenarbeit zwischen Iran und der Welt mit der Eskalation der regionalen Konflikte insbesondere in Syrien und im Jemen spürbar. Neben der Steigerung der Interaktionen und Zusammenarbeit, Änderungen laufen so, dass zusätzlich zur Ausbreitung des Terrorismus im Nahen Osten, die Saudi-Arabien und die Türkei sich bemühen, über die Bedeutung der Identitätspolitik und ideologischen Themen, eine Sekte als Werkzeug zu verwenden und damit ihre politische Ziele zu erreichen. Aus diesem Grund setzt der Iran die Priorität nach wie vor auf Verstärkung der militärischen Macht, Erhöhung der Verteidigungskraft und das Gleichgewicht der Sicherheit in der Region.Diese Forschung möchte diese Frage beantworten, was die Strategien der iranischen Aussenpolitik nach (JCPOA) in Nahen Osten sind und wie diese Strategien in Nahen Osten definiert werden. Als Antwort könnte man die Aufrechterhaltung der iranischen Sicherheit und Erhöhung der Verteidigungskraft, Zurückhalten Israel und die Aufrechterhaltung der präventiven Politik gegen dieses Regime, Behalten der eigenen Verbündeten (Syrien, Hisbollah, Palästina, Irak und Jemen) Terrorismusbekämpfung und das Krisenmanagement in der Region, Gleichgewicht der Beziehungen mit der regionalen Mächte (Türkei, Saudi Arabien) und die Förderung der Wirtschaftskraft in der Region nennen.

According to the new and widespread international studies and consequently, the activities of German political foundations throughout the world, the present study focuses on Occupied Palestine that traditionally, it has a special place in the Germany cultural diplomacy. In fact, the constant tension between the Zionist regime and Palestine and relations between Germany and this regime as one of the results of World War II; it is one of the factors that play an important role in the activities of its political foundations in occupied Palestine. For this reason, the exploitation of its political foundations in the occupied territories and their relationship with Zionist organizations, especially in Germany, is of paramount importance. Generally, there are six major political foundations in Germany: the Friedrich-Ebert-Foundation (FES), the Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation (KAS), the Hanns-Seidel-Foundation (HSS), the Friedrich-Naumann-Foundation (FNS), the Heinrich-Böll-Foundation (HBS) and the Rosa Luxemburg-Foundation (RLS). Each of them acts as one of the cultural arm of the great German political parties and with regard to the policies of the German parties, they have specific functions, including: mutual interaction with any issue related to the occupation of Zionist troops and the Palestinian struggles to liberate their land, issues and political education, environmental and social issues, Strengthening democracy, human rights issues, academic exchanges, and the provision of scholarships and the like in the occupied territories.

How they affect the bilateral relations between Germany and the occupied Palestinian? And also what impact do they have on the political progress of the occupied territories? And what are your goals, goals, and motivations? In this study, their role and function in German cultural diplomacy will be explored the activities of the political foundation in Ramallah, Quds, and Tel Aviv.

The political economy of development in occupied Palestine, especially after the Oslo Agreement, has attracted the attention of many academic circles. This leads to alternative development strategies and In line with the Palestinian conflict against the occupation of the Zionist regime. In this regard, many researchers and analysts have used the term "resistance economy" as an alternative development model. The term is a defined economic struggle that seeks to reorganize economic institutions and conform to the goals and requirements of occupied Palestine. In other words, the Palestinian resistance economy the economic development strategy is considered to be politically motivated that challenges the status quo and fights the occupation of Palestinian land and resources by the Zionist regime and looks with a neoliberal approach to economic development. Taking advantage of the resistance development model is the response to the current economic situation and its consequences on the resistance movements and the whole Palestinian society. Accordingly, the present paper seeks to answer this question by the descriptive-analytical method: What does Resistance Economics mean in the discourse of Palestinian economic development and what role does it play in the Palestinian conflict? How can this term be compared to other development approaches? It seems that the Resistance Economics Development Model as an alternative development model, emphasizes the need to resist the occupation of the Zionist regime and is a vital expression of the rights of the Palestinian people and its freedom.

Culture is one of the key concepts in humanities and social studies. Its fundamental importance in human evolution is such that it (Culture) can be regarded as capital, an achievement and a source of science, values and social norms of a state or nation. Culture as a social structure, in the context of a historical process, gradually, with elements and interests of beliefs, values and ideals are updated. In fact, it means that culture can be considered a factor for convergence, friendship and cooperation between states or between nations and or, on the contrary, provide grounds for misunderstandings, tensions and conflicts between human groups and national governments in international relations. As we have witnessed friendships and hostilities between nations and governments over the course of history (Including crusades, thirty-year wars, domestic and international wars, tension in the relations between the two neighboring countries, the growth of terrorism, etc.). Therefore, in recent years, the issue of international cultural convergence has been proposed as one of the important issues of governments, states, regional and international cultural organizations (governmental and transnational). On the other hand, global progress and the advent of modern communication and industrial technologies, like with other international developments, it presents many opportunities and threats to governments. In this way, the field of international cultural convergence is increasingly felt to prevent threats and use to its opportunities. So that international cultural convergence appears in all institutions, organizations and even political, economic, cultural, global elites, nations and governments and institutions and transnational groups. Due to the necessity of international cultural convergence, on the issue of culture and global convergence, are created many questions in the minds of scholars and thinkers in political science that: Firstly, what is the international cultural component? And how can an emphasis on cultural commonalities, are ignored from the differences and at the same time, the national culture of countries is not invaded. Second, what is the position the culture factor to turn the theory of international relations and international convergence? Or how can be created cultural convergence through the cultural factor in the theoretical and practical field.

Therefore, maintaining the stability and security of this region always has been important. After the independence of South Caucasus countries, has been appeared high evolutions in the field of geopolitics and vacuum of power in this region. In fact, the power vacuum caused by the end of the Cold War has given a new opportunity to actors in the region and transnational according to their national interests and strategic objectives, to put forward a new definition of their relationship with the countries of the region. Because, on the one hand, the South Caucasus region is very sensitive, fragile and critical and on the other hand, given that is considered to the geopolitical complement of Iran and Russia, has a complex security dimension. Iran and Russia as two important and effective powers in this region, in accordance with its strategic goals and interests, they adopted special security approaches to the South Caucasus that have in some similarities and another some differences.

For this reason, scenarios have been raised by regional and trans-regional actors that supervising on how to achieve the interests of each of them. The only common point that can be obtained from all scenarios, is "Stability and security". However, the goals and interests of the beneficiary countries are clearly different. Thus, the main question of this research is: Given the strategic location of the South Caucasus, What are the similarities and differences between Iran and Russia's security approaches in this region? Iran and Russia share the need for security in the South Caucasus (including maintaining stability and fighting terrorism) but each of them, means security according to their goals and interests, and their goals and interests are different in the region (including the attitude of the two countries towards NATO).
