Analysis of the Parameters of Power of the Naval Force of the IRI to Withhold Foreign Aggression

Naval Force is a long-standing term carrying its own implications in both war and peace times. In Western exploitive countries, naval force is one of the first military sections ever formed, and it has played the most crucial role in invading other parts of the world. The power of a nation to use seas and oceans to its advantage, and to withhold foreign invasion, and to take advantage of such privileges at the time of peace or at negotiation tables is what we call "naval force". This paper presents a thorough analysis of five parameters of power of the naval force of the IRI, namely: man power, operational power, geographical location, information and software power as well as support power to withhold foreign aggression and promote capabilities of the IRI naval force. Using a descriptive research method and through collecting nominal data from library resources as well as field research (based on Likert Questionnaire), attempts have been made to identify, classify and clarify the parameters involved. Through collecting experts' opinions, the Reliability of the questionnaire was found to be 0.9 after which the questionnaire was distributed among 64 commanders of the military and revolutionary guard forces, whose answers were then collected and analyzed using Alpha Cronbach at 0.903 level of consistency. SPSS 26 showed that the five factors above are effective in increasing the withholding strength of the naval force. These factors are listed in order of the amount of their influence, and advice has been made as to how the IRI should place implementation of the above factors in its agenda.
