Comparative studies approach has a significant place in many branches of Social Sciences. Furthermore, employing this approach in political studies has an effective role in the correct comprehension as well as explanation of political issues. However, due to their deductive or generalist feature, the well known theories of comparative politics have not been able to contain accurate feature together with comprehensiveness. These theories, at both paradigms of positivism and determinism, which encompass theories of System, Culture, Development, Class and Political Economy, have not been able to establish an accurate and comprehensive framework according to which comparing political issues would be possible.

The article 139 of the Constitution of the I. R. of Iran the aim of which is protecting the public and governmental properties, has envisaged rules to realize this end in case of a legal dispute. However, some of domestic as well as foreign investors believe that the aim of this article is incompatible with the principal of swiftness at trade issues, because, capital absorbing and other types of trade are among indispensable needs of economic advancement. Therefore, linking between the above two expediencies, i.e. protecting public and governmental properties and swiftness at trade and absorbing of capital is very important.

linked to the heterogeneous political identities of the two sides. In this way, the role ofIsraelas an apprehensive variable is very important, because, neither the Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to acceptIsraelas an actor in the region, nor theUScan be indifferent towards the threats and pressures ofIranagainst its long life ally,Israel. It is specially the case due to the Jewish society in theUSas the main important lobby group in the country which is completely effective on decision making in the field of foreign policy including the US Middle East policy. Nowadays, theUSaccusations againstIran, including preventing the peace process in the Middle East, acquiring weapons of mass destruction, harboring terrorism and breach of human rights and democracy are strongly linked with security ofIsrael. Therefore, although a limited cooperation betweenIranand theUSis possible at the tactical level, but as long as the current interaction between theUSandIsraelgoes on, normalization of theIran–USrelations would be impossible.
