On October 7, 2023, the Palestinians launched a large, planned and precise attack against the Zionist regime, which was unique both in terms of military strategy and results. This research, in examining the Battle of Al-Aqsa Storm and the continuation of developments related to it in the first 7 months - including the operation of the Sadiq's Promise of the Islamic Republic of Iran - focusing on the society, the government and the Zionist army, has reached the conclusion that Al-Aqsa storm operation exposed the main weaknesses of the occupying regime in various social, economic, political, military and security fields as well as its criminal face in front of the eyes of the world and by showing the authority and capabilities of the resistance front, it opened the way for the final victory of the Palestinians.

Adherence to ethnicity, religion and the intellectual-political discourse of Talibanism is one of the distinctive features of the second Taliban government. Regardless of how the Taliban returned to power in August 2021, after three years of their rule in Afghanistan, the Taliban leaders not only do not believe in intra-Afghan negotiations, but also insist on the inclusiveness of their rule. By emphasizing their inalienable right to rule in Afghanistan due to four decades of fighting against the invaders (from the time of the former Soviet invasion until the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan in early September 1400), the Taliban authorities are not ready to be given a share of power in proportion to the status of other ethnic groups in Afghanistan One of the most important arguments of the Taliban for the nonparticipation of other ethnic groups, especially the Tajiks, Uzbeks and Hazaras, has been the association of these ethnic groups and their leaders with the previous governments (republican system) and not fighting against America. Considering this approach of the Taliban authorities to stabilize their monopoly, while they want to weaken other political currents such as the former Northern United Front in Afghanistan, they seek to expand and strengthen the Talibanist thinking, change the demographic composition and ethnic context, etc. With the order of "Molahabtullah Akhundzadeh", the leader of the Taliban, religious schools have been established all over Afghanistan, and a network of young and emerging Taliban scholars, both Pashtun and non-Pashtun, has been created. In the upcoming article, the behavior of the Taliban government in relation to the non-Pashtun ethnic groups of Afghanistan has been analyzed and investigated.

The United Arab Emirates follows the open door policy under its modernization project. This means that de-escalation with all the legitimate and illegitimate actors of the international system, including the Zionist regime, has been the focus of its policies. The reason for the alignment of the UAE with the western front is that this country considers its political life and national interests to be dependent on the western modernity system. Therefore, its adherence to the tools of modernity has become inevitable, and one of these tools is the convergence with the representative of the western actors, namely the Hebrew Front in the Middle East. The spread of the peripheral alliance of the Zionist regime to the Arab countries of the African continent in order to legitimize and expand the strategic depth with the mediation of the United Arab Emirates is one of the issues that has seriously threatened Iran's national interests in various fields and levels.
Therefore, it is necessary to examine the reasons for the UAE's role in normalizing relations between Arab Africa and the Zionist regime, the internal and external challenges of this country and its prospects in this direction. Among the most important goals of the current research is the epistemology of the potential and actual threats of the normalization phenomenon of the Zionist regime and is spreading to Arab Africa. In this research, the database method and the Delphi method (semi-structured interview with elites) have been used. The findings indicate that the United Arab Emirates needs to become an active player in the international system with the aim of repairing internal challenges, including the crisis of lack of strategic depth, needs for influential Jewish technologies and lobbies in the international arena, and gaining the trust of the Western Front as a supporter and founder of the Israel regime is one of the cases that has led the UAE to take an active role in the convergence between the Zionist regime and the rich countries of Arab Africa with which it has significant commonalities.

The conflict between East and West or North and South has become global. The geopolitical and geoenergy importance of Libya in the neighborhood of Europe and its proximity to Italy, and the ability to disturb the countries on the edge of the regional fault around Libya and the northern part of the African continent, in the form of a domino of instability and insecurity spilling over from this country, show the special situation of Libya in this campaign of world order. Also, the issue of the refugee crisis for Europeans in the light of the current crisis of the war in Ukraine, which they are heavily involved in its waves, and the intersection and condensation with the developments caused by the wave of war refugees has added to these problems. In addition, the issue of the importance of Libya's geoenergy and the importance of maintaining the country's energy flow in light of the attempt to cut off Iran's connection with the global energy markets and the connection of Libya's oil logistics lines to supply Europe are other aspects of the importance of Libya in the current situation for the West and the East. From another point of view, the question of the presence or absence of Brotherhood political Islam has put Turkey in front of actors such as Egypt and the UAE and has expanded the conflict front in Libya to the maximum possible extent. In the current research, we will discuss the dynamics of internal parties and organizations in Libya, their role in the operational scene, their impact and their future prospects.

Tajikistan is the poorest country of the former Soviet republics, and its proximity to one of the oldest and most important centers of regional crisis (Afghanistan), along with the provision of suitable political, economic, social and security platforms for the growth of terrorism, has made this country vulnerable. While the closing of the political space and the unprecedented increase in the level of authoritarianism in this country since 2014, due to which the activities of many political parties and groups were banned and a large number of political activists were either imprisoned or forced to leave the country, it has made Dushanbe more vulnerable to terrorist groups In this article, after examining the causes and factors of extremist tendencies in Tajikistan, we will list the operations of fundamentalists in Tajikistan and then we will see why Tajikistan is a good target for extremist groups. We will talk about the strategy of extremist groups in Tajikistan, and we will talk about the Tajik government's plan to curb extremism and strategic proposals in this regard. Then we will examine the moderate groups of Tajikistan (Islamic Movement of Tajikistan) and the extremist groups of this country (ISIS Khorasan) and finally, we will look at the horizon of Takfir in Central Asia.

Despite the passage of nearly 15 years, the people's protest movement is still continuing and it appears on several occasions, but according to its trend, it does not seem to be able to achieve its goal of changing the political structure of Bahrain without removing obstacles and taking into account a series of considerations. reach In the meantime, due to its precarious position, the Bahraini regime moved towards greater integration into the regional policies of the United States, and in this context, despite the strong opposition of its own people, the Islamic world, and the Arab society, it normalized relations with the Israeli regime, and it was the second country after the UAE that entered the "Abraham Pact." After the implementation of the aforementioned agreement, the opponents of this process faced a fundamental question; "Is there a way to get the Bahraini revolution out of the current stagnation?" To find the answer to this question, we must see what causes the stagnation of the revolutionary developments in Bahrain. By eliminating or weakening those causes, can we reach a suitable answer? The nature of the Bahrain revolution is antidiscrimination and its main demand is to eliminate discrimination. If a peaceful mechanism is implemented to eliminate political, economic and social discrimination, Shiites can achieve the anti-discrimination process with less cost and more participation.
