Western Asia is a crucial and conflict-ridden region in the world. A major conflict has been between Arabs and the Israeli regime, but Saudi Arabia- Israel relations have been normalizing since 2015. Iran, a state that holds Israel and some Arab countries as enemies, founded the “Axis of Resistance” to expand its influence and security in the region. However, the normalization of relations seems to have jeopardized the Axis of Resistance, which this study aimed to analyze. Accordingly, the study's main question was as follows: What threats does the normalization of Saudi-Israeli relations pose against the Axis of Resistance, affecting the Islamic Republic of Iran’s national security? The significance of this descriptive-analytical study was in the fact that any developing threats against the Axis of Resistance expanding around the Islamic Republic can impact Iran’s national security. The results revealed that normalization of relations has led to threats against the Axis of Resistance, including supporting domestic, separatist, and opposition forces of the Islamic Republic in Iran and supporting regional and international anti-Axis of Resistance forces throughout the axis members, i.e., Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq.

The Axis of Resistance is a title that in recent years has been able to introduce itself as one of the main transnational actors influencing the political-security developments in the Middle East. As a member of this axis, Iraq has an important role. Various issues in Iraq's internal environment affect the country's role in the axis of resistance, and understanding them will lead to a better understanding of the country's position in the Middle East security zone. On the other hand, there is complex and wide-ranging competitions by regional and supra-regional actors in Iraq, which adds to the importance of this country as one of the foreign policy priorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In order to be on the axis of resistance, Iraq must reduce its internal problems. Problems such as unemployment, corruption, dependence on oil budgets and lack of infrastructure for development. Lack of attention to internal problems makes Iraq unable to resist US and Western pressures. As a result, Iraq can`t act as a member of the axis of resistance to its takes. The closer the factors of Iraq's convergence with the axis of resistance, the less likely it is to join the American front, and the more the factors of Iraq's divergence from the axis of resistance, the more likely it is to separate from the axis of resistance. The main question of this research can be stated as follows: What are the advantages and barriers of the Iraqi internal environment that affect the position of this country in the axis of resistance? This research is not a hypothesis because of its practical nature. The method of data collection in this research is the use of the existing literature and unstructured elite interviews. The Regional Security Complex Theory has also been used as a theoretical framework focusing on patterns of friendship/enmity.

The increasing militarism of the Zionist regime and its security measures over the past few decades in order to counter the threat posed by the security complex formed under the name of the Axis of Resistance, has led to increased vulnerability and numerous gaps due to lack of attention to other aspects of security in this regime. This research is of practical importance due to the impact of the Axis of Resistance on the vulnerability of the Zionist regime. The present research seeks to answer the fundamental question of what effect do Axis of Resistance-based threats have on the vulnerabilities of the Zionist regime? This study shows that the military and political threats of the Axis of Resistance have led to the impact on critical infrastructure, increasing insecurity, creating socio-political gaps, damaging deterrence and intensifying the crisis of legitimacy as the most important vulnerabilities in the Zionist regime. The approach of researchers in this article is descriptive-analytical and documentary and field methods have been used to collect data. For data analysis, a model based on combination of the two theories of the Copenhagen school and the Deegan-Krause's theory of social gap has been used as the basis theory of the analysis.

Since the Islamic Awaking, the United States has sought to adopt a diverse and comprehensive foreign policy to contain and weaken the Axis of Resistance. Examining this policy is of great importance to the governments and nations of the West Asian region. Based on the framework of the hybrid war, this research examines how US foreign policy toward the Axis of Resistance after the Islamic Awakening can be articulated properly. This research is categorized as an applied research and qualitative method has been used to analyze the information. The goal of this paper is to explain US foreign policy behavior toward the Axis of Resistance in the hybrid war framework. This research concludes that the United States has used a kind of hybrid war against the nations and member states of the Axis of Resistance to diminish its influence and power around the region; but, while US policies in the region have not been successful in all the considered dimensions.

The defeat in the 33 and 22 day wars against Hezbollah and Hamas institutionalized this definite understanding in the minds of the Israeli authorities That due to the different definition of the concept of threat and the culture of martyrdom, a mere military confrontation with the axis of resistance will result in nothing but defeat for this regime. Therefore, the question addressed in this article is what is Israel's strategy to strengthen its deterrence strategy in facing the axis of resistance and Iran? In response to this question, the hypothesis of the article in the framework of the theory of complex deterrence is that Israel's fear of falling into the trap of deterrence in direct confrontation with the axis of resistance in the West Asian region has caused Israel with the aim of delegitimizing the ideals of the axis of resistance, to adopt a strategy take alliance with Iran's neighbors.

Since the occurrence of political-military developments in the region, especially in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq, the role of the Islamic Republic of Iran has been studied from various perspectives. This research aims to investigate new dimensions of Iran's presence in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq and the role of the axis of resistance in these developments by using Nedlibo's cultural theory and emphasizing the principle of dignity. In this research, the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran is analyzed on the basis of prestige and the axis of resistance, and it is hypothesized that Richard Nedlibou's cultural theory, relying on concepts such as seeking honor and prestige, can reveal the neglected dimensions of Iran's foreign policy towards the axis of resistance. enlighten us The results of the research show that the historical past as well as Islamic and revolutionary teachings have caused the motivation of the spirit to be the basis of the foreign policy behavior of this country, and concepts such as "honor" and "self-respect" have shaped Iran's positions and behavior in the international arena. . The topics of this article analyze Iran's foreign policy towards the axis of resistance in a descriptive-analytical way.

The Islamic Republic of Iran, Hezbollah in Lebanon, resistance groups in Palestine, Ansarullah in Yemen, the people of Iraq, Syria and Bahrain are among the most well-known members of the Islamic Resistance in the region. In order to conduct this research, which has been written in a descriptive-analytical manner and is called the impact of the axis of resistance on the regional policies of the United States in West Asia, the question has been asked: how the axis of resistance is US interests in the West Affects Asia? To answer this question, two hypotheses were put forward: 1. The axis of resistance has hindered the realization of American interests and goals in West Asia, and its function as a regional and supraregional power has strengthened the concept of resistance. The findings of the study indicate that: The US goal in the Middle East is not just the fight against terrorism. By supporting extremist groups in Syria, the United States wants to overthrow the government of Bashar al-Assad and put pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran, as well as the collapse of the resistance.

This article is a descriptive and analytical research on the position of resistance in the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran. While addressing the reasons and background of the resistance in Iran's foreign policy, its various dimensions are also explained at the regional and international levels. The idea is that, given the articulation of the discourse of the Islamic Revolution, Iran was able to highlight the language of Islamic resistance in the region, while presenting the axis of resistance against interregional interventionist forces as an effective actor. In practice, it has also used it to expand its strategic sphere of influence, and increase its security factor. The Axis of Resistance, meanwhile, was able to uphold the Syrian political system, which many regional and non-regional activists sought to bring to its knees, and to resist the aggression of proxy terrorist groups, just as A process that took place during the developments in Iraq. In this regard, the axis of resistance in Lebanon and Yemen was fundamentally raised and stood against the common unity of Hebrew and Arab. Were it not for the strategic vision of the resistance, it is possible that terrorist forces in the form of proxy wars, with the help of Arab petrodollars and the logistical assistance of Hebrew-Arab forces and the support of trans-regional actors, especially the United States, would change the fate of the region. In thedirection of their intervention and presence, and against the national security and national interests of Iran, they were advancing. In other words, while the position of the axis of resistance in Iran's foreign policy has an identity aspect, but from a realist and power perspective can also be considered a strategy to strengthen Iran's geopolitical position in the West Asian region. In other words, the axis of resistance is considered to be the provider of Iran's national interests and the enhancer of its security.

One of the issues raised today in the public opinion and the scientific community of the country is the questions and ambiguities regarding the relationship between the economic situation of the country and the role of the I.R.Iran in the resistance front. The main question in this article is about the impact of the role of the I.R.Iran in the axis of resistance on national interests from the perspective of political economy.In this article, as much as possible, we have tried to address all the political and economic components at both domestic and foreign levels, which are somehow related to explaining the position of the economy in the case of supporting the axis of resistance. It is obvious that running a country in a chaotic environment on the one hand and good governance to achieve maximum satisfaction of individuals on the other hand, has implications that logic dictates to look at all issues in a systematic way and avoiding comprehensive analytical reductionism in order to explain the position of the economy in the process of managing the resistance. The novelty of the article is that the issue of the country's economy and at the same time the role of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the axis of resistance has been studied in a field of internal and external components.

The axis of resistance in Southwest Asia, as a significant actor and geopolitical force, has had a substantial impact on regional actions and interactions. It has played a crucial role in shaping the transformation and dynamics of power relations in regional security developments. The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of the axis of resistance on regional security changes and developments. It aims to provide a realistic assessment and perspective on the axis of resistance's position in the region's power and security hierarchy, as well as its role in ensuring and maintaining stable security. The axis of resistance has established itself as a key player in Southwest Asia, influencing power dynamics, security balance, and the overall regional landscape. It has successfully positioned itself at the top of the power pyramid, enabling it to play a significant role in power and security equations. To keep its growth going, though, it's important to look at the threats and opportunities, as well as the pros and cons of this axis in terms of creating discourse, adapting to geo-economic and geo-cultural changes, and making deterrence stronger. This research employed both an interpretative paradigm and a qualitative method. The data was collected through document analysis and studying library resources. Additionally, 27 elites and experts participated in a semi-structured interview. The purpose was to extract data, indicators, components, and dimensions related to the subject, position, policy-making process, strategies, and the current situation of the axis of resistance against security developments in the geopolitical structure of Southwest Asia.
