This research aims to explain the role and position of the Islamic Republic Party in creating solidarity and unity among Islamist forces and the crisis of political parties at the beginning of the 1979 revolution. Using Huntington's approach, it examines the party's evolution in four stages: factionalism, bipolarization, expansion, and institutionalization. The main issue of the aforementioned article is: What role and position did the Islamic Republic Party have in uniting Islamist forces at the beginning of the 1979 revolution?  In this study, an attempt has been made to use content analysis (descriptive) method to investigate how the Islamic Republic Party, with its factional approach after the revolution and the presence of Islamic parties within it, witnessed the entry of its members into the executive-administrative cadre and the organization and integration of Islamist forces in the newly established system of the Islamic Republic of Iran at the beginning of the revolution. Given the power crisis in political parties, the presence of competing non-Islamic political parties in the early days of the revolution (such as leftist and rightist currents) was practically completely limited, leading to the integration of Islamist forces into the bureaucratic structure after the 1979 revolution.

International crises and the resulting crimes often raise questions about the underlying causes that threaten regional peace and security. Understanding these root causes is crucial for both strategically preventing future conflicts and managing current tensions. Theories, when applied to specific events, provide a valuable framework for analyzing complex realities and developing more effective interventions. The ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict, deeply rooted in ideological and identity-based differences, exemplifies this need for in-depth analysis. This research, employing a descriptive-analytical approach and utilizing documentary and library methods, aims to address the following question: What are the criminological and political roots of the persistent instability and recurrent crises in the Middle East, with a particular focus on the Israeli-Palestinian crisis? The historical and strategic depth of the conflicts in the Middle East, often intertwined with issues of identity, contribute to its perpetual state of conflict and crisis. This volatile environment also facilitates the commission of other international crimes in the region. Research findings indicate that to prevent future international crimes in the Middle East, this study identifies three critical strategies: bolstering the integrity of international organizations by ensuring their neutrality, promoting regional political and religious discourse without external influence, and facilitating the recognition of the State of Palestine through peaceful, politically-negotiated in accordance with international legal frameworks.
