 Findings show that in the current situation, Iran is in a maximum defensive position in its neighborhood and especially in relation to the main countries of the region. The findings of this article in the form of a limited study show that affected by various internal and external conditions and far from any fantasies, the current situation of Iran in its neighborhood and especially in relation to the main countries in the region is in a maximum defensive position and on the horizon. In the short term, if national strategies are adopted commensurate with the sources of domestic and foreign power of the country, one can hope to be in a conservative position.

It should be noted that the current world is an intertwined network based on participatory and competitive currents with a focus on geo-economics’. If we understand the roots of the formation of the situation, we can hope to find real solutions.

This paper is aimed at identifying and assessing the environmental factors (external and internal) of political and cultural sphere of Islamic Republic of Iran's cyberspace via SWOT pattern. In terms of purpose, this research is applied and in terms of methodology, it falls into descriptive-analytical researches family. The data have collected through a Delphi technique-based questionnaire. After studying and identifying factors and classifying them in the form of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, the questionnaires of the first and second stages were compiled based on a four-choice scale and distributed among experts and scholars of the fields. Content validity of instrument was affirmed by experts and its reliability was calculated regarding Cronbach's alpha of 0.747. After collecting data through questionnaire, they were analyzed by SPSS and descriptive and inferential statistics methods. Mean of components related to each of research's four variables was tested by single variable T test. Additionally, all of research's variables were ranked via Friedman test. Five components of each of four variables (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) were assessed by Fred R. David's analytical pattern. Finally, summation ofstrengths and weaknesses points yielded a positive score (2.1) and also, summation of opportunities and threats points yielded a positive score (3). With regard to the fact that two means stand in a middle level, the status of Islamic Republic Iran's cyberspace is posited in a middle region (Cell 5 of Fred R. David's 9-cell matrix). The results indicate that the status of Islamic Republic Iran's cyberspace is totally located in first region of coordinate system or first quarter of Fred R. David's coordinates. In viewpoint of strategic analysis, this area is referred to as the area of aggressive strategy or SO region (region of strengths and opportunities).

Countries are led by their geopolitical genome. If geopolitical genome creates a correlation between the goals pursued by the political players and geographical advantages of other countries، it will pave the way for international and regional cooperation. The Persian Gulf region، as a unit، is like a living creature with tissues، cells، a nucleus and a genome. For example، the islands in the Persian Gulf are like cells while the situation of military and civil groups on those islands constitutes the nucleus. The geopolitical genome، on the other hand، is the factor which determines strategic and geopolitical significance of an island in the minds of politicians. This paper aims to answer this question: “What kind of strategy will be able to activate geopolitical genes which give rise to convergence in the Persian Gulf?” It seems that a strategy based on recognizing geographical and human realities of the region as well as careful study of the geopolitical genome that affects the foreign policy of regional countries will be able to bring about the aforesaid activation.
