Iraq as an important country that influences the political and security environment of the Middle East was occupied in 2003, which in turn impacted the country and region's political space in various respects. However, apart from the international consequences of Iraq's occupation, the alien presence left numerous repercussions on the Iraqi people, because on the one hand, Saddam Hussein's iron government with all of its security-military apparatus collapsed, and on the other it should be kept in mind that the exacerbated anarchy and insecurity in Iraq was one of the immediate consequences of the occupation presence in the country. Under such circumstances, the role and importance of the reference institutions for the resolution of Iraq's problems was felt more than ever; institutions which seemed to manifest in the religious authority. In fact, Iraq's critical conditions and people's distrust in political groups and parties caused that the Shia religious authority in Iraq to take extra-ethnic role and function, able to play an essential part in Iraq's political developments. Considering these facts, this research seeks to demonstrate the extra-regional role and function of Iraq's Shia religious authority, examining three critical periods in Iraq's contemporary history.

Due to frequent threats of Israel by Iraq and its approach to attain nuclear weapons، Israel destroyed Iraq’s atomic installations in 1982. During 1990s Zionist regime and its followers asked U. S to resolve once and remove Iraq threats over Israel. in 2003 After Iraq occupation Zionist regime took Iran nuclear activities under control closely and approached to Syria and Turkey. Israel tries to put pressure on these countries using Kurd people force. Despite of these positive consequences، Shiites’ power gaining، the increase of Iraq penetration in Iraq، improving Iraq and Syria relations and reinforcing the bases of resistance are negative consequences of the U. S attack to Iraq. This article with Descriptive – analytical method aims to study the political and security consequences of Iraq occupation for Zionist regime with this hypothesis That the short time consequences are positive and the long time consequences are negative for Zionist regime.

Water consumption has increased dramatically in recent years due to population growth, urban development and agricultural development. A total of 12 percent of Iraq's surface water is from Iran, which accounts for 10 percent of the total surface water volume in the country. The main purpose of this paper, prepared as a documentary research in a descriptive-analytical manner, is to examine Iran’s hydropolitics challenges and opportunities towards Iraq. Iraq and Iran are roughly equal in terms of geopolitical balance and therefore have a kind of open and hidden competition in different fields. If Iraq has a high power, it is a threat to Iran, because it is always under the command of Iraq that the water border and Iraq's access to free waters face a very limited constraint. Therefore, if Iraq has a higher power, it will certainly resolve its geopolitical problem and will control its geopolitical crisis by taking advantage of its geographical and economic value Arvand River. Based on the findings of this paper, it can be concluded that Iran should have a tension free hydro-diplomacy towards Iraq, and future hydro-political perspective of Iran and Iraq should be based on the common management of the two countries in Arvand River.

Iraq has been one of the most challenging countries in Southwest Asia (Middle East) since World War II. Undoubtedly, one of the main reasons for these challenges is the important and decisive role of the Iraqi political situation in the geopolitical space of the region. In the current developments in this region, as in the past, Iraq has a key and decisive role, and this role has led to the clash of actions and interests of various regional and supra-regional powers at this point. The main purpose of this article is to study the future of political stability in Iraq by emphasizing the political and security situation in Iraq and its sub-objectives. It introduced Iraq and the feasibility of the disintegration of Iraq. By designing possible scenarios for the disintegration or non-disintegration of Iraq in the next ten years, the future of this country is predicted as follows: 1) Scenario of disintegration of Iraq 2) Scenario of civil war in Iraq 3) Scenario of fair and democratic distribution of power.

From the establishment of Iraq in 1932 up to the Iraqi coup of 1958, the disputes between the two neighboring countries of Iran and Iraq did not extend beyond boundary disputes and lead to severe tensions and disputes between them due to the royal structure of their ruling system, their membership in the Baghdad Pact, and the dependence of both governments on the Western bloc. However, there was a period of tension, threats and regional competitions between them after the 1958 military coup in Iraq by Abd al-Karim Qasim and Iraq’s tendency to establish friendly relations with the Soviet Union (Eastern Bloc). This article investigates Iraq's relations with the Soviet Union and its impact on the foreign relations of Iran and Iraq from 1958 to 1979. The question dealt with in this study is: “How did Iraq's dependence on the Soviet Union impact the Iran-Iraq relations from 1958 to 1979?” It is argued that Iraq established friendly relations with the Eastern bloc in line with the Soviet policy after the coup of 1958 in order to gain a more prominent role in the Persian Gulf and enhance its military and political power in the region, which added to the conflicts and disputes between Iran and Iraq, as well as their arms races and interventions in each other’s internal affairs and support of the opposition groups in the two countries. Discussing the history of Iran-Iraq relations before the Iraqi coup of 1958, this article points to Iran’s post-coup concerns due to the change of Iraqi government and its tendency to the Eastern bloc. Delving into the Iraq-Soviet relations, this study examines the impacts of Iraq's dependence on the Soviet Union on Iran-Iraq relations manifested by their arms races and support for the opposition groups in the two countries.

Islamic revolution that provided a new discourse in Iran sociopolitical area carrying a new discourse in foreign policy too that it contained concepts like against-arrogance (Istekbarsetizi), Jihad, poor government and …. but it did not take long from beginning that Iran encountered a destructive war from Iraq’s Baath’s regime that analyzing, explaining and interpreting it in different theories and approaches, can indicates its different aspects. In line with it, the main question is that what is the reason of occurring Iran-Iraq war? The forward hypothesis is that the area and context of conflict among Islamism discourse in Iran’s foreign policy and geopolitics discourse in Iraq’s foreign policy, on the one hand, and the conception and interpreting of Iraq’s commanders about Islamism discourse and its existing situation, on the other hand, caused the occurrence. The findings of this essay that is in form of library and documental method indicate that antagonism of Iraq’s geopolitics discourse (with revolution exportation contrast, Pan-Arabism and security signifiers) toward Islamism discourse of Islamic revolution (with revolution exportation, fighting against arrogance and national interestssignifiers) is clearly observable and what made Iraq as the war beginner, was Iraq’s officials conception aboutIran’s political instability situations at that time and the opposite discourse conflict with Iraq’s discourse.
