The Role of Transit Position in National Power, Case Study: Iran

Transit is a factor in the exchange and enhancement of national power in terms of bus crossing and despite its potentials and geographical parameters, it is far from the desired situation in this regard. In this research, by compiling information and data through library and field data including transit (petroleum and non-oil) transit through road, rail, air and sea as well as comparing Iran's performance with other transit routes, it examines Iran's transit status and Its role is focused on national income as well as national power. In this regard, a questionnaire has been designed which consists of 8 variables, each of which has been analyzed and evaluated using statistical methods and spss software. According to the results of the study, it can be concluded that the use of the country's transit position will have an important role in increasing the power of control as well as guaranteeing national security. It also generates jobs and increases incomes, which is a factor of economic prosperity. Consequently, given that each of the indices and parameters discussed contributes to the increase of national power, it can be concluded that Iran can increase its national power and improve its geopolitical status by using its transit position.
