The purpose of writing this study is the conformity of the seven-part concepts of the second step statement with the mission of intelligence protection organizations. Therefore, an attempt was made to analyze the ways to achieve the final goals of this statement by following the path of the desirable system of intelligence protection organizations in seven movements and to provide a solution for it. The authors of this article attempt to answer the question of "What are the indicators of the desirable system of intelligence protection based on the seven-part axes of the second step statement?" This issue, which is methodologically descriptive and thematically practical, has been done by utilizing the text-based content analysis of the second step statement in the field of study of this article. The results of monitoring the results in seven entries and with the highest impact factor on the subjects are lifestyle, intelligence teaching, seeking justice, strengthening spiritual beliefs and intelligence ethics, national dignity, combating industrial espionage in the economic sphere and continuing to defend independence and freedom by means of intelligence. Drawing a roadmap based on these orders in the macro strategic decisions of the system of the Islamic republic of Iran with good, correct, logical and reasoned intelligence estimation can play an important role in strengthening the structures of the desirable system of intelligence protection for defending the security of our country.

Following the victory of the neo-conservatives in the U.S. presidential election in 2016, the issue of reconsideration of their relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran was considered by that country (republicans and Donald Trump). Indeed, with this policy, trump unilaterally abolished the entire process of nuclear negotiations that had led to the agreement and then, by adopting a policy that led to an escalation of divergence and confrontation with the Islamic Republic of Iran, placed the name of the Islamic revolutionary guard corps in the list of terrorist groups. In fact, the main issue is Donald Trump's repeated accusations against Islamic republic in support of terrorism. In this article, the authors are trying to answer the question of "what are the main reasons that led to placing the name of the Islamic revolutionary guard corps in the list of international terrorist groups by U.S.A and the continuation of such policies will lead the region of Middle East in terms of security to what direction?" The authors' hypothesis is based on the fact that the creation of a break in the resistance front in the region is the main reason for the adoption of this policy by Trump. The findings of this paper, which utilize John mearsheimer's offensive realism theory and a combination of historical sociology and futures studies, confirm that the restoration of US hegemony in the form of the rejection of Obama's theory, non-imposition of sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran in post- JCPOA, breakdown of convergence in the Shiite resistance front, providing the security of zionist regime, interrupting the economic flow of IRGC and intensifying psychological warfare and creating more inflammation in the West Asian region have been the six major objectives of U.S.A for placing the name of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in the list of terrorist groups.

The Internet of things, as an emerging technology, can provide the ability to identify and transfer data to all objects. Controlling the performance of equipment, identifying users and controlling information are the key advantages of this technology. The special features of the battle scene and the multiplicity and variety of equipment used in this environment, make it possible for defense organizations around the world to use this technology to control the battle scene. One of the requirements of utilizing the technology of the Internet of things in the battle scene is to focus on the subject of security and create a security- based architecture that defines all the components and relationships between components in the form of security components. The present study is an applied research and its method is descriptive- analytical with exploratory approach. The qualitative data of this research is gathered from the study of sources and of scientific researches and using qualitative research method of meta-synthesis. In order to validate the proposed architecture, the opinions of the sample community, which are experts in the field of defense sciences and are fully acquainted with the technology of the Internet of Things, as well as experts in the field of Internet of things, have been used based on interviews. The study results show that Internet of Things (IoT) technology has the best performance on the battle scene in the environment of cloud computing that is based on big data. It was also determined that due to the features of the battle scene; the security layer should cover all layers of the architecture.

The main purpose of this article is to examine the people's participation in the public security of the country. This research is of applied research type and in terms of method, it is of mixed type (qualitative and quantitative).

One of the components of national security threats in border areas, especially in Kermanshah province, is the dangers posed by the influence of Wahhabism and Salafi takfiri movements and their actions. The idea of ​​takfir is rooted in the thoughts of Ibn Taymiyyah (8th century AH) who, based on his Deviant perception from Islam, considered some Muslims outside the circle of Islam and called them infidels. After that, muhammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab (12th century AH) put this idea into practice and based on it, started killing of Muslims. This idea is still being practiced by Wahhabis, ISIS and other takfiri movements against Muslims. The purpose of this study is to identify the threats and harms caused by the activity of these currents in different dimensions and to provide solutions to deal with them through a qualitative approach to the grounded theory. The main question of the research is "What threats will the actions of the takfiri Salafi currents pose in various dimensions against the security of this region and the national security of the Islamic republic of Iran?".  In this study, theoretical sampling methods and snowball technique have been used to collect data and theoretical data saturation has been obtained using deep and semi-structured interviews with 38 experts from political- security different. Also, the systematic approach of Strauss and Corbin was used to analyze the data. In short, the analysis of the data showed that the phenomenon of the emergence and development of takfiri Salafi currents in the geography of border areas and the western margins of the country, including Kermanshah province, is affected by various causal conditions. This phenomenon, along with interventional conditions (financial, logistical, educational, and media support) and contextual conditions (ideological currents, economic, cultural-intellectual, political-international, and social factors) creates actions including ideological-cultural, economic- security and political measures. Finally, the consequences of this phenomenon include security, economic, social and religious threats and also, at the end, suggestions were presented to counter these threats.
