In discussing the activity of terrorist and militia groups in Baluchistan region, which have the color of geopolitical activism and fundamentalist (anti-Shia) tendencies, the role of regional and extra-regional foreign governments is of special importance; because in the competitive or hostile atmosphere that exists around the Islamic Republic of Iran as a regional power with anti-Western and Shiite ideological tendencies, making Iran appear unstable and endangering the security of its borders can be a step towards weakening this country and the possible change of the balance of power in their favor. The main question of the current research is: What role do foreign powers play in the geopolitical activism of terrorist groups in Baluchistan? The hypothesis that is raised following this question: Regional and extra-regional powers have taken advantage of the special geopolitical situation of Baluchistan and with direct and indirect support, mainly financial, they use the movements of these groups to destabilize Iran's borders and attack the country's interests. The results of the research show that the entanglement of Baluchistan's borders between the two countries of Iran and Pakistan and its proximity to the Afghan Taliban, along with the unfavorable economic situation and political isolation and social discrimination of this area (which has a Sunni minority), have given power foreign countries have allowed them to pursue their goals and objectives better.

Since its establishment in 1947, Pakistan has faced the issue of Baloch ethnicity as a problem with political, security, economic and regional dimensions. Unfortunately, the geographical and linguistic continuity has also had an impact on the situation of the Baloch people in Iran, hence the sociological analysis of this issue is important. The leading research seeks to answer the question, what are the dimensions of the issue of ethnicity in Pakistan's Balochistan from the point of view of micro and macro sociology? In order to answer this question, an attempt has been made to answer this question by using the theoretical framework taken from Ara Randall Collins. Document analysis method is used in this article. It seems that various components such as past colonial relations, the instrumental use of identities in the colonial period, geopolitical element, the behavior of the chiefs and elders of Baloch tribes, the functioning of the modern government and the image of defeats and great and decisive victories on the mentality of the Baloch ethnicity in the formation of the problem Qoumi has been influential in Baluchistan, Pakistan.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the definition of security changed and terrorism was considered a threat to state security. The government of Iran and Afghanistan have been involved in the issue of terrorism and its security and political implications for many years. Meanwhile, Iran, especially Sistan and Baluchistan province, has suffered greatly from the presence of terrorist elements. As al-Qaeda and the Taliban have a relatively active presence in Afghanistan, ISIL's presence has now added to Afghanistan's security challenges and increased the security threats to Iran and Sistan and Baluchistan province. Accordingly, the present study seeks to answer the question, what security challenges will the Taliban and ISIS presence in Afghanistan have for Sistan and Baluchistan? According to the research question, our hypothesis is that the presence of Taliban and ISIS terrorist groups in Afghanistan could lead to social threats, such as changing the demographic structure, provoking Sunnis in the Balochistan region, economic threats including inter-state trade with regional countries, drug trafficking. In the political dimension, large-scale insecurity for the Iranian government and in the environmental dimension will aggravate the water crisis for the province. The research method is descriptive-analytical.

The purpose of the present study is to study ethnic cohesion in Sistan and Baluchistan province and its relationship with political participation in the 2021 Iranian presidential elections. The research method was descriptive-analytical, and the results showed that although there is a good relationship between the province's youth cohesion and political participation in the 2021 presidential elections, this relationship is moderate and other interventional variables have an effective relationship with this partnership. Due to the positive relationship between the two variables and the increase in ethnic cohesion in the province, the level of political participation can be increased to some extent. In other words, strengthening the sense of belonging to the ethnicity, facilitating and strengthening interpersonal communication in society, increasing family solidarity, and strengthening their supervision over children can partially increase the level of political participation (A willingness to political participation, support for political activities and carry out political activities) in the presidential election in Iran.

The sweet water constitutes just three percent of the planet’s total water. The difficult conditions become apparent when we learn that the distribution of this volume of water in various areas is unequal. Furthermore, ceaseless population growth and growing consumption of water in various works give rise to sensitive conditions under which many scholars call the 21st century the hydropolitical century. Hence, in the relations among political units in an area where the degree of rainfall is scant and water will provide the ground for future tensions. Afghanistan’s internal mountains are the sources of two Hirmand and Hariroud rivers in eastern Iran. Iran-Afghanistan hydropolitical ties during the last decade have been based on instrumental use of water factor. For this reason, a large number of Iran’s populated settlements in Sistan province have been seriously damaged which led them to migrate to other areas in the country. Given this background, the Iranian state, with Turkmenistan’s cooperation, has built the Friendship Dam above the Hariroud (Tajan) river whose source is located at Afghanistan. Among other things the designers intend to secure Mashad’s drinking water. With such an action, Iran’s eastern part will be included in Kabul’s sphere of influence. Thus, the author believes that in order to escape the negative consequences of this dependence, the Iranian government should establish a kind of geopolitical exchange with Afghanistan.
