The main concern of the regional countries in the Persian Gulf is to reach a significant level of security in this region, and it has forced some of the regional countries to react to ensure their security. Because the privileged position of the Persian Gulf is important in the trade and economic activities of countries. The Islamic Republic of Iran, as the most important coastal country whose economic activities are based on this sea, is a clear example of this issue. The method of this research is qualitative and descriptive-analytical, and the necessary documents have been collected from books, articles, and internet sources. Therefore, the main question of the research, as it is clear from the objective, is what effect has the militarization of the Persian Gulf had on Iran's foreign policy strategy? The hypothesis that the militarization of the Persian Gulf, along with the sensitive and strategic position of Iran in the Middle East region, the existence of civil wars and political instability in neighboring countries, and the existence of political challenges with strategic neighbors, along with the American military presence in the Persian Gulf, lead to more threats to Iran's security. Therefore, it is trying to manage these security problems by using deterrence tools in the region as well as developing its influence through material and spiritual power and military balancing and developing cooperation with China and Russia.

The forthcoming report, entitled "The Kataeb of Hezbollah and Other Iranian Proxy Groups in Iraq," is Michael Knights' latest detailed report in this context. In general, numerous reports on Iranian proxy forces in Iraq and West Asia are published by various research centers, but attention to the recent report relies on reasons that distinguish it from other similar examples. The report is published in the latest issue of the Counter- Terrorism Center monthly magazine at the US Military Academy (known as Westpoint). Michael Knights, author of a recent report, is an Iraqi military and security expert who travels extensively to Iraq. He regularly briefs US government policymakers, congressional committees, and U.S. military officers on Iraq security issues. Knights led an expert team investigating the assassination of Martyr Soleimani, and in a pre-action summary, stressed the need for the US government to assassinate the martyr. Knights works extensively with military-security agencies in Iraq and leads intelligence-gathering teams in Iraq. He claims that he collects a large amount of information from people close to the Quds Force in Iraq, and for this purpose, he has provided a secure messenger network for the exchange of information. According to him, his recent report on Kataeb of Hezbollah also contained information about the forces and internal relations of this group and other Iraqi resistance groups that had been made public for the first time. This information was collected through interviews with unnamed individuals and, according to the author, was published through crosssharing after verification. It is important to pay attention to this report from this perspective, which informs the audience about the depth and accuracy of the awareness of the stakeholders, and on the other hand, shows their approach and analysis of the events.
