The United Kingdom's presence as a trans-regional power in the West Asia region has long had much effect on the countries in region including Iran. These effects continue to exist in different ways. The United Kingdom in the West Asia region pursues its strategic objectives, which are at odds with the interests of these countries. It plans to pursue its colonialist objectives by its presence in the region, which, of course, differs in form from the past, though not in nature. Therefore, this article aims at capturing the identity of the effects of the United Kingdom's foreign policy on IRI's national security in three domains-namely security, economic and military. Further, it draws on a descriptive-analytical methodology to answer the question of "What effects does the United Kingdom's foreign policy have on the security of the Islamic Republic of Iran?" This is followed by the use of note-taking to gather data in order to collect and analyze different documents.
