The present article aims to define and determine various dimensions of strategic information review and analyze its role and function in the field of national security, in order to achieve and introduce an appropriate model in this regard. The method used in this research is "grounded theory". The mechanism of this method is designed in such a way that primarily the statistical population of the study, which includes the elites of the security and strategic fields and managers of political and strategic fields, are determined, then their related views on strategic information are collected according to theoretical saturation method. Subsequently the collected information will be extracted and categorized and then analytical propositions and basic concepts on strategic information and its processes will be extracted and analyzed based on the analysis of the results. Non-probable and purposeful sampling method was used in this research. The results of research based on grounded theory indicate that strategic information, in different perceptual processes, analysis, detection of security phenomena and strategic policy making, and specifically confronting with threats and achieving an appropriate model for achieving sustainable security, play a key role and performs different functions. In other words, the results of this study indicate the fact that the consolidation of national security is depended to the collection, accumulation of analysis and processing and intelligent use of strategic information in various fields. This process is possible by completion of the information cycle, rethinking renovation and continuous completion and accurate analysis of information.

The present study aims to identify and exploit the areas of possible cooperation between Iran and Pakistan in order to achieve security goals. Creating security with the help of resistance economy is of practical importance because it helps to improve the pattern of relations between Iran and Pakistan and should be one of the priorities of the policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This research seeks to answer this key question: to what extent can the use of a resistance economy in Iran-Pakistan relations perpetuate bilateral security between the two countries? The researchers' approach is descriptive-analytical, the type of research is applied, and the method of data collection are documented and for their analysis, the model based on the combination of two theories of resistance economy and the negative discourse of security has been used as the basis of the analysis. Separate security and economic studies have been published on the subject, but the issue of the impact of the resistance economy on security relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan has not yet been reviewed in a consolidated manner. This study shows that the analysis of the pillars of resistance economy including supporting national production, economic stability, economic justice and consumption pattern reform has had a direct impact on the security relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan, including three critical issues of border challenges, terrorist groups and drugs and with special attention to the pillars of the resistance economy, it is possible to both alleviate the current economic situation of the country and strengthen the security relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan.

Political, social, economic and cultural developments of the last century and especially the last few decades in the world arena which in many ways has led to the humiliation of man and humanity, subsequently it has led to the formation of a metaphorical and mythical atmosphere, which on the one hand with the help of religiosity and on the other hand with the help of secularism, pursues human freedom as central and fundamental signs. Two dominant and hostile discourses, namely the discourse of contemporary political Islam and the discourse of western liberalism (despite stretching in and taking root in the heart of history) from the heart of such an inflamed atmosphere, they have matured again and been rebuilt and highlighted. Discourses that, despite having formal similarities, are always in conflict with each other in theoretical and practical dimensions. This article explains the basics of resistance theory by purposefully using "Laclau and moff" discourse analysis methods and will show its points of conformity, especially its inherent conflict with western liberal democracy in areas such as the way of looking at human beings, rationality, government, sovereignty, culture, economy, society and individual and thus the quality of formation and inevitable birth of the theory of Islamic resistance against western liberalism will follow as a model for the flow of the middle circle of modern Islamic civilization. In this research, a descriptive-analytical method is used and based on the documentary and library method, data and documents have been used.

The development of internet of things and complementary technologies such as artificial intelligence in various fields such as health, smart home and… is widely used. The development of smart places using the technology of smart houses based on the internet of things uses communication platforms and programmable sensors in order to make intelligent and integrate different parts of a building and its aim is reducing energy consumption, effective use of resources, high security and a comfortable lifestyle. This important thing, along with creating many benefits, for various reasons such as password vulnerabilities, failure to update devices, poor configuration of software and communication layers, weak protocols and so on, always leads to an increase in the threats of internet of things systems. In this research, considering the mentioned security problems, especially in armed forces locations, what is the answer to the question of the security evaluation framework of internet of things in smart locations of the armed forces? It was investigated and analyzed by using the mapping of international valid standards and frameworks and expert theory. The survey results show that respectively, the components of weak passwords (91.2%), insecure network services (89.3%), insufficient privacy protection (88.1%), lack of secure update mechanisms (87%), insecure data transfer and storage (86.3%), lack of device management (83.9%), and insecure ecosystem interfaces (79.3%) are prioritized in the security assessment of the armed forces' smart locations.

Security policymaking is one of the most important security issues of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the reason is that the Islamic Republic of Iran, as a country with its own strategic position, is always exposed to a multitude of threats in different levels in the contemporary world. What seems to be necessary more than anything else in security policymaking for the security of the country and to deal with threats is to pay attention to policies to deal with such threats in the security field. The purpose of this research is to achieve security policymaking according to the management documents of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The main question is that the security policymaking of the Islamic Republic of Iran, according to the management documents, to what extent and to what degree can it be effective and answers the current issues in times of crisis and threats? The method used in this research is the library method and the study of written sources in the field of security policymaking in management documents, which is considered a type of applied research, and the data analysis is based on a qualitative method. In the continuation of this research work, to clarify the matter, firstly, the explanation of security policymaking, security and national security, threat and management documents were explained, and then according to the policymaking in management documents such as the vision document and the fifth law of development, the issue was discussed in order to determine the importance and attention of management documents in security policymaking making. The results obtained from the research studies show that the management documents of the Islamic Republic of Iran pay special attention to security policymaking in all dimensions.

The role of Hezbollah in Lebanon during the years after its formation, as a political-military movement and based on a regular identity, has been the focus of experts' attention. The purpose of the present research is to investigate and analyze the effectiveness of a political-military movement in a country with the coordinates of Lebanon, considering the difference and the plurality of opinions. An attempt is made to answer the question that Hezbollah's platforms of influence in Lebanon are drawn based on what components? The answer to this question have taken place based on four factors; The existence of the Zionist regime, the negative interference of countries such as America, France, and Saudi Arabia, the inefficient government, and the constructive activism of the Islamic republic of Iran. The following research was carried out based on the descriptive-analytical method and the use of library and documentary sources, within the framework of constructivist theory, and the following results were obtained; Hezbollah started to strengthen the Lebanese identity and brought about convergence in some parts of this society under the identity-benefit, considering the tribal system in the country. Two foreign non-constructive platforms such as; the existence of the Zionist regime and the negative interference of the United States, France, and Saudi Arabia caused Hezbollah to benefit from a foreign constructive actor such as the Islamic Republic of Iran in order to achieve a meaningful balance in terms of increasing power and warding off danger. On the other hand, due to the multiplicity of clans and the existence of an ineffective government, he took internal and constructive measures in order to solve the problems of the Lebanese society. The most important goal of Hezbollah's intervention and active presence in the heart of affairs is the identity of Lebanese society based on authentic Islamic principles (while respecting religious groups and clans) in order to improve Lebanon's position in the domestic and international environment.
