IntroductionIn recent years, influence of Geographical and Geopolitical basis (factors) have been ignored in international and nations relations or has not been worthily considered. Relations in geopolitical regions are affected by 13 geographical and geopolitical factors in three facets of interregional, periphery system and world system that include: Geographical location, neighborhood factor, geopolitical cods, marginal ideological states, strategic spaces, strategic region, degree of regional security and stability, regional unions, secure/insecure spaces (crisis spaces), geographical sources of conflict/cooperation, balance/imbalance of Interregional power, geopolitical weight (national power) of states. This study tries to present geographical and geopolitical factors in the geopolitical regions, which affect international relations by using descriptive- analytic method and analysis of theories. Geography has always played an important role in human affairs. It has shaped the identity, character, and history of nation-states; it has helped and hindered their social, political, and economic development, and it has played an important role in their international relations. Geopolitics is the study of the influence of geographical factors on states behavior. In other words, how do location, climate, natural resources, population, and physical terrain determine a state’s foreign policy options and its position in the hierarchy of states? Results and discussionThe most important factors that affect geopolitical relations are divided into two groups:Geographical location, neighborhood factor, geopolitical cods, marginal ideological states, strategic spaces, strategic region, degree of regional security and stability, regional unions, secure/insecure spaces (crisis spaces), geographical sources of conflict/cooperation, balance/imbalance of Interregional power, geopolitical weight (national power) of states. Based on studied theories and identification of geographical and geopolitical factors in the geopolitical regions it can be said that pattern of relations in the geopolitical regions and structure of spatial relationships in geopolitical regions are affected by geographical and geopolitical factors in different facets of interregional, periphery system and world system.

Central Asia is one of the regions in geopolitical realm of Islamic republic of Iran. The region includes five Muslim Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan races. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the geopolitical plan was compiled. Formation of this geopolitical region in north eastern Iran, possessing marine-land long borders with countries of this region along with some domestic and international opportunities brought up challenges against Iranian foreign diplomacy and policy. Among these opportunities and challenges there are two cases which seem to be more important due to geographical nature of its strength and the country’s stability. These factors can identify a suitable field to design and the efficient strategies to be planned for this region. In this article, effort has been done on the investigation of effective geopolitical factors in Iran in relation to central Asian countries which are classified on the basis of opportunity and threat factors in the futures.
