In recent decades, the relationship between Iran and the United States has been viewed from friendship role in the Pahlavi Dynasty to enmity one in the Islamic Republic era. As a turning point, the negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 over Iran's nuclear program demonstrated new horizon of the constructive diplomacy in international relations. These negotiations have been pursued more seriously since 2013 and in 2015 led to the signing of an agreement called CJAP (The Comprehensive Joint Action Plan).In this study, authors seek to answer the question of what effect CJAP as a subject has had on Iran-U.S. relationship. In answer to this question, authors examine the establishment of the U.S. position as "other" in the text of the Comprehensive Joint Action Plan. Hence, It has led to deconstruct the subject and increased hostility in relations between Iran and the United States. The Research data were collected through libraries and documents, and to test the hypothesis, we use the method of critical discourse analysis with deconstruction techniques and Derrida differences to analyze the relationship between self (Islamic Republic of Iran) and other (United States of America) Authors try to test the hypothesis by use of critical discourse analysis method with Derrida's difference idea and his deconstruction techniques to analyze the relationship United States as the “other” and Iran as “self”. In this context, The Comprehensive Joint Action Plan (CJAP) has been regarded as the subject from the post-positivist/ post-modernist view to study International Relations (IR). The results and findings of the research show how another element has established its identity during the negotiations as well as in the text of CJAP and has led to its collapse. The results and findings of the study show how other has established its identity as an emergence of domination and knowledge during the negotiations as well as in the text of CJAP and the source of the collapse of this relationship lies within it.

covid 19 emerged in China and soon spread around the world. Due to the characteristics of easy and rapid transmission, lack of development of drugs and treatment methods on the one hand and the natural side effects of the measures taken on the other hand, the debate created political, social and economic effects on the national and international stage.

Evaluation and analysis are based on the trend Impact analysis and the teachings of the literature produced on the issue of change in international relations studies. Findings show These new process makes the international system fragile and uncertain and shows that discourse of realism has strengthened rather than neoliberal policy.

Some scholars and political currents introduce policies and actions such as upgrading military capabilities (especially missile capability), pursuing a peaceful nuclear program, and supporting the Islamic Republic from the axis of resistance against its national interests. Influenced by positivist approaches, they consider the national interests of the Islamic Republic of Iran to be timeless, fixed and unchangeable, and do not pay attention to the fact that national interests derive from the identity of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Thus, this study seeks to answer the main question, "What effect does national identity have on actions such as enhancing military capability (especially missiles), pursuing a peaceful nuclear program, and supporting the Islamic Republic on the axis of resistance?" Presents the "normative or ideational structures of the Islamic Republic of Iran which are composed of three elements: a) regulatory and Constitutive norms derived from the Twelver Shiite culture, b) existing in Iranian political culture, and c) mental influences derived from the geopolitics of Iran They form the "corporate identity" and "social identity" of the Islamic Republic of Iran. "It pursues certain policies and actions, such as the promotion of military power (especially missiles), the pursuit of a peaceful nuclear program, and the support of the Islamic Republic for the axis of resistance."

Urban diplomacy is one of the new concepts in the field of diplomacy. This concept refers to the presence of cities along with governments, NGOs, multinational corporations and international organizations as well as other international system actors in international interactions. Metropolises, as the largest human collections in the world, have a huge share in expanding and exploiting urban diplomacy. In other words, metropolitan cities can play a role in the field of diplomacy, in a coordinated manner with countries in this area. Hence, metropolitan areas such as Mashhad, with their unique geographical, religious, economic, cultural, and scientific and communication potential, are of great importance in Iran's diplomatic mobility and engagement with its counterparts and regional organizations such as the ECO. This paper seeks to answer the question that the potential and potential components of the metropolitan macro city role in the field of urban diplomacy, with a view to the geographic area of the ECO Economic Cooperation Organization, is that in Mashhad's opinion, and in a sense Khorasan has more natural, human, and semantic features than other cities in the ECO. The method used is a library and field method (questionnaire).

Today, in addition to traditional diplomacy, countries have shown interest in public diplomacy and are trying to use it to advance their goals and support their interests. Iran is no exception and has been trying to conduct its public diplomacy in any region, especially Afghanistan, and in this way has used various tools and methods. Afghanistan is one of the target communities that can be positively affected due to its many linguistic, cultural, religious, historical and other commonalities with Iran. In this research, it has been try to pay attention to the concept of public diplomacy and to examine the public diplomacy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Afghanistan. Finally, the factors that increase the ties between the two countries should be studied. This study addresses the question of what is the role of Iranian public diplomacy in post-Taliban Afghanistan in increasing ties between the two countries? The research hypothesis also suggests that Iran has used political, cultural, educational, and economic methods in its public diplomacy in post-Taliban Afghanistan, and that these actions have increased empathy and, consequently, increased ties between the two countries. To evaluate the research hypothesis, Zaharena theory of communication action has been used, which measures the degree of relations and proximity between countries using three indicators; Measures political, economic and cultural-educational relations.

The special functions of higher education systems in the world are identified through the analysis of the context of political economy. This political economy is often seen in higher education as part of the church and part of the casino. The two can be redefined as the Vatican and the Vegas Heart of Higher Education, respectively. In this regard, successful scientific diplomats have established their independence by protecting the bases and expanding it, and can crystallize the most intellectual adventures within the borders of their institution. This requires a forward-looking macroeconomic strategy, on the one hand, and the use of other scientific diplomats, on the other, to protect higher education from current market epistemological distinctions in the face of market pressures. In this article, with the analytical and comparative review of authoritative sources in the constructive space of neoliberalism and the atmospheric effects of political economy along with rentier capitalism, the mission of scientific diplomats in higher education has been reviewed.
