Foreign Policy in the Islamic - Iranian Model of Progress with a Strategic Hedging Approach

The Islamic Revolution of Iran was the founder of a fundamental change in the material and spiritual life of human beings in the modern era. The People's Revolution of 1978 in Iran, in addition to transform the political system, challenged the basics, principles, and ideals in the world and claimed a distinct model of governance and social life. Until a few years ago, there was no coherent model for explaining and presenting new ideas and horizons of the Islamic Revolution. The formulating of the Islamic - Iranian model of progress document was a progressive step towards filling this gap. However, this document has a significant distance from a comprehensive, efficient, achievable plan derived from the Islamic humanities. The main concern of this research is to review, critique and present suggestions to address the shortcomings of the basic Islamic-Iranian model of progress in the field of foreign policy from the perspective of passive defense. The significance of this issue is that the realization of the Iranian Islamic model of progress and achieving its measures in the 50-year horizon depends on maintaining the existence and survival of the Islamic Republic and its resistance to the threats and actions of foreign enemies. The main question of this research is what are the shortcomings of the Islamic - Iranian model of progress in the field of politics from the perspective of passive defense? The method of data collection and analysis in this research is library and descriptive-analytical, respectively. In this research, the clauses related to foreign policy in Islamic - Iranian Model of Progress are reviewed from the perspective of passive defense, and finally, alternative proposals for each clause are presented. The final conclusion of this study is that the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of the Islamic - Iranian Model of Progress in the field of foreign policy requires special attention to the three main categories of "continuous monitoring and evaluation of motives, capabilities and threats from enemy activities and actions." "Preparing for the enemy by deterring possible enemy actions" as well as "planning to play an effective role in the international system and change the world order."
