This research has pursued two main goals; First, in the first part, by examining the political-security influence of America in its first three generations in the Islamic Republic of Iran, it was concluded that these three generations of political-security influence were respectively influenced by the approaches of realism, liberalism and constructivism. And even despite the complexity of the methods, they are placed in the field of Newton and simple systems. But the emergence of quantum physics and its impact on social sciences caused the fourth generation or quantum, American political-security influence in Central Iran, to find an approach of realist constructivist liberalism, whose dominant features are "super-selectivity", "instability", It is "systemic chaos and complexity" and "holism" and the quantum property has caused everything in this pattern to depend on everything else and make its recognition a difficult methodological problem. In the second part of the research, by using the quantum mind theory of Alexander Wendt, the way of shaping the mentality of the Iranian elites in accepting the JCPOA as an example of the political-security influence of America in the Republic of Iran has been discussed, which has many political-security consequences until today. It still has for Iran. The research method is descriptive-analytical and the method of collecting data and information is documentary-library. The main documents of the analysis in the second part of the research are American publications during the period of nuclear negotiations until the signing of the JCPOA.

Health diplomacy has been part of states' foreign policy for over a century. It enables countries to enhance their national interests by leveraging soft power. The U.S. has consistently been active in health diplomacy, playing a significant role in international organizations like the World Health Organization. This paper aims to compare American health diplomacy during the presidencies of Trump and Biden to provide a clearer and more accurate analysis of U.S. foreign policy. The article poses the question: what is the most significant difference and similarities between U.S. health diplomacy under Trump and Biden? To address this question, a comparative method was employed, and data was gathered through library research. The research findings indicate that Joe Biden's health diplomacy diverged from Trump's in foure key areas: America's strategy for combating diseases, Participation in disease treatment initiatives (such as vaccine donations), A multilateral approach versus a unilateral approach, Responses to global health crises and improvements in long-term global health security infrastructure. In General, the shift from Trump's unilateralism in the global arena to Biden's engagement with allies and international institutions represents the most notable difference in their health diplomacy. Despite the above differences, both presidents had similarities in the following policies: prioritizing the health of American citizens over other countries, imposing financial and medical restrictions on governments that oppose and criticize the United States, reducing the cost of prescription drugs, Antitrust Enforcement and some Medicare policies.

Therefore, the main purpose of this article is to examine the components of the US containment strategy and the counter-policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran that In line with the purpose, the main question of the article is: what are the components of the US containment strategy and what has been the result. In response to the research question, the hypothesis is that "restricting regional movements with the aim of reducing activism" and "coercive diplomacy" are the main components of the US containment strategy and the Islamic Republic of Iran by implementing policies of "Resistance and support for proxy forces", "development of defense capabilities" and " Strengthen the weaponry of the resistance axis " have rendered the US containment strategy ineffective. This research is of descriptive-analytical type and library resources and internet scanning have been used to collect data.

The American judicial system has been subject to attention for years in terms of changes and reforms, which are evaluated according to the indicators and considerations of this field such as prisoners, human rights of prisoners, police performance, juvenile delinquency, wrongful convictions, independence of the Supreme Court and inflation of criminal laws). In order to better analyze the civilizational situation and have a big picture compared to the American socio-political system, Iran must have a lot of knowledge and understanding in this regard.In the upcoming research, according to the indicators proposed in the American analytical circles and think tanks, with the method of library and document collection, it is tried to describe and analyze the mentioned indicators in a period of time. The question was also based on the proposition that what was the state of some of the most important judicial indicators in the United States from 2008 to 2022? In this research, it was found that the rate of prisoners in general has decreased, the human rights of prisoners are still in terms of handling and fixing the system.

Today, one of the main concerns of experts and people, due to the speed of technological progress and its availability, is the consequences of the expansion of artificial intelligence in the social-political fields. The experience of the last decade, which coincided with the emergence of social networks and virtual platforms, shows that as much as the developments in the field of technology and media, political-social developments and transformations are also accelerated and affected by them. So that between the holding of one election and the next, the political and social environment has completely changed, and the need to recognize the factors and variables affecting it is felt. In the upcoming research, with a descriptive-analytical approach and using library sources, documents and valid surveys, the effects of artificial intelligence in the political-social arena have been analyzed. It has also been tried to provide a conceptual tool for studying artificial intelligence in a complex multi-level environment. Evaluating and determining the strengths and weaknesses of this process is different by considering the specific political and social attitudes of each society; But what is certain is that the application and speed of spreading these tools has made the world of politics and social life more complicated than in the past, coupled with uncertainty and facing a vague outlook.

The Caucasus region has received less attention from scientists and decision-makers in the Eurasian region than in the past few years because the security studies of this region are currently affected by the armed conflict in Ukraine and the turmoil in the Middle East. However, the Caucasus region, especially the South Caucasus, suffers from acute geopolitical fragility due to internal and external reasons, and since the intensification of the rivalry between the tsars (Russia) and the Yankees (the United States) after the Cold War reached its highest level. has arrived, the process of their conflict and cooperation in this sensitive part of Eurasia deserves attention. Therefore, while examining the bilateral relations between Moscow and Washington in the Caucasus, the authors try to explain and explain the current situation of this region and the logic of cooperation and competition between the past few years. Therefore, the main goal of this research is to answer the question that what policies did the tsars and the Yankees adopt regarding the crises in this region and what were the reasons and logic of these two countries' policies?
