The Spread of Excommunicationist Terrorism as a Malign Problem, and the Security of the Islamic Republic of Iran

The present research concerns the spread of excommunicationist terrorism to Iran and its impact on the national security as a malign problem. The method of the research is descriptive and analytic. The findings show that since the spread of excommunicationist terrorism is a malign problem, the solutions to it should be adopted in terms of malign problems. For this reason, the central government must view the spread of excommunicationist terrorism to the Iranian boundaries as a malign problem and adopt policies and solutions with a cooperative approach so that it can manage the problem with the collaboration of all the interested groups. Otherwise, the problem has the potential to become a super-malign problem.
