Among the countries of Central Asia and the Caucasus, the Republic of Azerbaijan has special importance for Israel due to its geographical location and being on the west and east routes. This regime has started relations with Azerbaijan for three decades and has entered a new stage in recent years. Given the above explanations the question arises, where is Azerbaijan's position and role in Israel's national security strategy? And what is Israel's approach to the development of relations with Azerbaijan? The underlying hypothesis is that Israel's approach to relations with Azerbaijan can be understood in light of the concept of strategic depth and the pursuit of Israel's security needs. From this point of view, the development of relations with Baku is important for the continuation of Israel's life. The results show that Israel seeks to turn Azerbaijan into the strategic depth of this regime in the South Caucasus to overcome its geopolitical weaknesses and repel its military threats. Also, this measure helps Tel Aviv to strengthen its deterrent strategy against Iran. Israel's nesting in Azerbaijan and the development of these relations in military-security dimensions can affect Iran's national security and lead to Iran's distance from Azerbaijan and make colder relations between the two countries. To conduct the article, the explanatory method has been used and the data was gathered through the library method.

The present research gives an answer to the following fundamental question: How could the ontological view of the security of the Islamic Republic of Iran affect the definition of Iran’s strategic depth? To answer the question, we should first study the foundations of the ontological security of Iran with a focus on the Iranian Constitution and (as a corollary) the views of Imam Khomeini and Ayatollah Khamenei. We then consider the impact of this ontological security on the foreign policy of Iran in general, and its strategic depth in particular. The results indicate that the ontological identity and security of Iran includes the following principles: priority of its Islamic dimension over its Iranian dimension; enmity of Israel; enmity of the US; anti-colonialism and non-committal to the great powers; the significance of Palestine for the Islamic world and the importance of the Axis of Resistance. These characteristics of the identity of the Islamic Republic result in ontological and physical security threats from the US, Israel, and the regional powers that are allied with them. As a consequence, Iran devises its strategic depth to counter these threats. It goes without saying that the military threats arising from these identity contradictions remarkably contribute to the formation of this strategic depth and the spheres of influence. The Islamic Republic prioritizes identity issues, and according to religious and ideological principles, under vital circumstances, this identity security is prior to physical security. To fulfill its ontological and physical security, the Islamic Republic of Iran pursues the deepening of its strategic depth. At present, it does so with the aim of inhibiting and countering the threats of its actual regional enemy; that is, Israel.

Pakistan's relations with Afghanistan have seen many ups and downs. One of the critical points in this relationship occurred during the Taliban rule in Afghanistan (1996-2001). During this period, Pakistan became one of the main supporters of the Taliban. A policy that had to be abandoned soon after the US attack on Afghanistan. With the Taliban set to regain power in 2021, what impact has the Taliban's rise to power had on Afghanistan-Pakistan relations? What factors have influenced these relations? The hypothesis of the study is that the Taliban have not been able to meet Pakistan's political expectations and that this state of affairs has created challenges in the relationship between the two countries. By Using a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach and a library method for data collection, the research findings show that, contrary to Pakistan's expectations, the Taliban's rise to power in Afghanistan has not led to a reduction in border tensions on the Durand Line, the abandonment of separatist claims in Pakistan's Pashtunistan state, or a downgrading of Kabul's relations with Iran and India. Therefore, Pakistan seeks to maximise its security, economic and political interests in this country through a policy of exclusion towards India and Iran and targeted and selective interaction with China and U.S.

After the 1979Islamic revolution and the establishment of the Islamic Republic in Iran, hostility between Iran andthe Zionist Regime has been created and escalated. As the imperatives of Tehran's anti-Israeli orientation, the alliance with Syria plus non-state groups in Lebanon and Palestine and gradually the formation of the Resistance Axis have been established. This paper aims to address this question: What is the impact of the Resistance Axis on the strategic depth of the Islamic Republic of Iran?

The method of research is descriptive-analytical by using library and internet sources.

The findings of this paper indicate that the Resistance Axis influence on Iran's strategic depth through mechanisms such as making balance of power by establishment of resistance basesand creating loyal groups, a strategic alliance with Syria and other non-state allies, improving Iran's missile capabilities, increasing the military power of Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and weakening the deterrent capabilities of the Zionist Regime.

The formation and development of the Resistance Axis has expanded the Islamic Republic of Iran’s strategic depth in the Fertile Crescent region.

The philosophy of the second step explains the what, the why and the how of the statement. Such being the case, the present article tries to explain the international nature of the statement by focusing on the extra boundary dimensions of the statement and to reveal the bias of the statement towards the international goals of the Islamic Revolution. In this research, a descriptive-analytical method with an exploratory-inferential approach has been used. Based on the phrases and key words of the statement and other statements of the Supreme Leader, as an upstream document of the Islamic Republic and possibly a sample of evidence that shows the significant impact of the waves of the Islamic Revolution on Islamic and Western societies, the article seeks to give a clear analysis of the statement with Focus on international goals. Findings indicate that the Islamic Revolution in the second step at the international level beyond the geographical borders of Iran, closer to its authority and strategic depth to provide the ground for the establishment of a great Islamic civilization more than before.

Maximizing the power which enables the Islamic state to exist, cooperate and interact with other nations at the international level is considered a critical issue by the Islamic state. The present research, having presented the question that ‘what capacity is there for the political jurisprudence to develop and strengthen the strategic frontiers of the Islamic state’, seeks to extend and establish the concept of frontier and territory of the Islamic state to include not only its own frontiers but also its strategic frontiers. In addition, it explores in jurisprudential resources the legal possibility of extending and strengthening these frontiers in order to guarantee the interests of this state. Frontier, as an abstraction, can help to bring into existence different sorts of the state’s spheres of influence which, in turn, enables the state to achieve its ideological and strategic ends. Drawing upon descriptive-analytic method, the findings of the research show that the strategic frontier is formed and determined in line with the states’ overall strategy in meeting their transnational interests. Conflict of interests necessitates the Islamic state to have and extend its strategic depth. Rulings in the Islamic political jurisprudence are of various capacities to extend and strengthen strategic frontiers. Such things as ‘ta’lif-e qulÙb’, i.e. uniting the hearts (for attracting people to Islam), and the governing conditions and the treaties of the Islamic state are considered to be the most important of these capacities.

Six years after the Syria crisis, this conflict has turned into an international human rights disaster. I.R.Iran, which has supported the Syrian government over these years, has been facing a lot of challenges. So the understanding and explaining of Syria's position and importance to foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran has become very important. In this way, given the current realities and situations in the Middle East recently, the importance of the question in the present study is that "what is the real significance of Syria for the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran?In other words, why does the Islamic Republic of Iran consider the strategic importance for relations with Syria? Following this question, some argued that Syria has a strategic regional depth for the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and claim that Iran's alliance with Syria is a deterrent to regional threats, especially against Israel. On the contrary, the opponents of this claim consider Iran's unity with Syria in a region of extreme conditions and intense regional conflicts as an exciting factor in exacerbating the threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran and, ultimately, the instability in the whole region. The present study seeks to clarify this dichotomy and to examine the dimensions and implications of Iran's strategic alliance with Syria and Iran's support for the Syrian government in its recent crisis. Getting a comprehensive and complete answer to this question that “What is the real position of Syria in the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran? is one of the main goals of this research among all the various and completely contradictory views.

This paper is going to focus on the topic of the issuance of revolution and its modeling role of the Islamic Revolution, so answer to the question: “which are the most important components in the modeling of the Islamic Revolution for the countries of the world?” To answer this question, first of all, it is necessary to explain, base on the perspectives of Ayatollah Khamenei, some concept such as the anti-Islamic Revolution concepts (arrogance), the strategic depth of the Islamic Revolution, the anti-imperialism, the oppressed (the audience of the Islamic Revolution). After explaining these basic concepts, we will focus on three areas of modeling that should be studied as issuing of the Islamic Revolution, with the focus on them, the fields of issuing and increasing the influence of the revolution would be clear. The Islamic Revolution, with its components such as the Islamic identity model, the model of imperialism denying and a powerful Iran, can be influential by the role of creating a political system of example for other countries in the world. By focusing on these three components, this article tries to focus on the particulars of these issues in detail. In this research, the data foundation's method has been used to refine and retrieve texts and lectures of the leader of the revolution; however, at the same time, we have tried by finding solutions and using strategies such as elite interviews and keyword searches, to overcome the disadvantages and shortcomings of this method. We have also tried to read the entire lectures and the great statement of his, to design a unshakable structure and conceptual design of the subject of the research.

The aim of the present article is recognition and analysis of the palace of Hezbollah of Lebanon in deterrence strategy of Islamic Republic of Iran. The activities of Hezbollah of Lebanon adjacent to the Israeli borders (Israel as the main source of threat against the Islamic Republic of Iran) while gives special importance to this movement it boosts the deterrence potential of Islamic Republic of Iran. The main question of the present article is what the impact of Islamic Republic of Iran support for the Lebanon Hezbollah is on deterrence potential of Iran? The underlying hypothesis is that the support of Islamic Republic of Iran for the Lebanon Hezbollah increases the deterrence power of Iran. For understanding the above hypothesis by descriptive-analytical method, variables like increasing the strategic depth of Iran, defeating the Israel deterrence and reducing military security factor and reducing the possibility of military attack on Iran are discussed. The finding of the study shows that the support of Islamic Republic of Iran for Hezbollah of Lebanon in the direction of containing Israel on the one side has led to defeat of Israel deterrence and the reduction of national security of that country. On the other hand it has added to depth of strategic for Islamic Republic of Iran and reducing the risk of possible military attack against Iran. This condition in the long run leads to increasing indirect regional deterrence power and national security of Islamic Republic of Iran.
