Lieutenant General Martyr Haj Qassem Soleimani is without a doubt one of the most influential Iranian commanders throughout history, especially during the period of holy defense and the axis of resistance, prominent on the world stage. Therefore, knowing his military thought is of special importance.Since one of the dimensions and aspects of military thought are theoretical and religious foundations, it is necessary to examine, research and identify the categories of their religious foundations.For this purpose, the fundamentals of belief effective on the military thought of Martyr Soleimani is the main issue of this research, and its main question is: What are the fundamentals of belief effective on the formation of the military thought of Major General Haj Qasim Soleimani?In response to this question, the current research was conducted with a qualitative approach and a statistical population, including public and private speeches, official interviews, books and manuscripts (wills, notes, etc.) and sampling from the statistical population to the extent of data saturation. And the data analysis was done using the foundation data method and Max QDA software.The findings of the research show that deep belief in the principles of religion, knowledge, belief and trust in God, the prophethood and prophethood of the Holy Prophet of Islam (peace be upon him and his family), the Resurrection and the Hereafter, the Imamate of Shia imams (peace be upon him), Justice and branches of religion, such as prayer, fasting, Hajj, Jihad, commanding good and forbidding evil, and especially Tuli and Tabari, etc., were prominent characteristics of Martyr Soleimani's beliefs, which were also observed in practice.

The achievement of power and military capability by the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, establishing defensive deterrence, responsiveness, and reaction to various threats, necessitates the deployment of advanced and intelligent weaponry in future wars. This research aims to investigate the requirements that the ground forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have for ground weapons in future wars. In terms of purpose, it is applied-developmental and qualitative research based on the content analysis method. In order to achieve operational requirements, three main influential factors were examined as pervasive themes: 1- Characteristics of potential enemy weapons against the ground forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran 2- Characteristics of future ground wars 3- Operational requirements of the ground forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran in future wars. The statistical population consists of 33 commanders and managers in senior ranks of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The findings include 3 pervasive themes, 15 organizing themes, and 143 basic themes. The highest weight was obtained in the theme of intelligent weapons, precision with agility, and standoff with 51%, and the lowest weight in the theme of unity in command with 1%. The most frequent concepts in coding include: intelligence, development of various types of drones and UAVs, reliance on artificial intelligence, self-protection against various infrared, laser, and radar weapons, satellite technology and remote control, standoff, precision, night vision equipped, engagement systems, and radar.

The basic principle of war is based on protection, mobility and firepower. The current scenario of comprehensive and multidisciplinary threats has made the reduction of response time and the intelligence of weapons inevitable for the survival of the system and victory in the war. Much effort and capital has been directed towards the development of new technologies to improve the performance of weapon systems in terms of accuracy, stability, range, lethality and portability. the purpose this research is to investigate and compare of ground weapons of extra-regional countries such as America and Russia, regional countries; Türkiye, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the Zionist regime. In order to conduct this research, the content analysis method has been used. After specifying the research area and keywords for searching from reliable information sources, Latin databases that used. Considering the future wars and the development of ground weapons, the defense vision documents of the selected countries, articles, military-defense-security regulations, their strategies and doctrines were considered. The findings of the research show that 13 factors have been emphasized as indicators of the capability of ground weapons in the future war. The results of the research show that the weapons of the United States have more capabilities than the weapons of other selected countries, including Russia. Also, the weapons of the Zionist regime have more capabilities than those of Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Saudi Arabia's weapons have more capabilities than Pakistan's due to relying on weapons purchases from extra-regional countries, including the United States.

Today, all the countries of the world are trying to pay attention to the role of higher education in national development and promotion of knowledge and technology. In fact, it can be said that one of the most valuable resources that society has for progress and development is education. Higher education is actually one of the most effective mechanisms of any country to deal with the biggest challenges of this century.The main goal of this research was to identify dimensions and components for evaluating higher education policies. The current research is an applied-developmental research and its method is mixed exploratory (qualitative and quantitative), which uses the qualitative strategy of thematic analysis to analyze and analyze data and count factors and indicators, and quantitative statistical methods are used to rank them. The data were extracted from document review and related literature and in-depth semi-structured interviews. Interviews with 13 experts in the field of higher education and policy making were conducted in a targeted manner until the stage of theoretical saturation. For validation, three procedures of coding test itself, use of independent coders, and receiving feedback from the interviewees were used. For data analysis, concepts were extracted in three stages. Based on this, 8 relational codes (overarching theme), 26 interpretive codes (organizing theme) and 105 descriptive codes (basic theme) related to the evaluation of higher education policies were identified and extracted and ranked using Friedman variance analysis. The results of the research showed that the components of "educational and cultural factors, legal factors and legal institution" are among the most important effective components in the evaluation of higher education policies, and among them, educational and cultural factors have the first priority.
