Revolutionary Changes in the Middle East and the Security of Iran

The recent revolutionary changes in the Middle East have had serious effects on the security in the region. The Islamic Republic of Iran, as a key player in the region, has been affected by the changes as well. Therefore, the main question is what is the effect of the recent changes in the Middle East on the security of the Islamic Republic of Iran? The hypothesis is that regarding the formation of social powers and the presence of contending Islamist and secular groups in the revolutionary changes in the Middle East, it seems that the development of the discourse of Islamism and the domination of this discourse on the structure of power in the post-revolutionary political order will strengthen the political dimension of the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The present article seeks to analyze the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the light of recent changes in the region. The present research is descriptive-analytical and aims to utilize the causal explanation method to study the effect of independent variable on the dependent variable. The theoretical basis of this article derives from the interpretations of security in Copenhagen school.
