Abstract
This article examines the impact of socio-cultural components in Israel's relations with Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan on the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran from 2011 to 2020. In its foreign policy strategies, Israel has sought to play an important role in this component by recognizing that culture and social issues are the soft power. Meanwhile, Central Asia and the Caucasus, and especially countries such as Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, are the main centers of foreign policy in the cultural and social dimensions. Given this, the main question of the article is what effect did the cultural and social components of Israel's relations with Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan from 2011 to 2020 have on the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran? In response to this hypothesis, it has been suggested that cultural and social components in Israel's relations with Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, by trying to achieve normative-cultural separation, pose a threat to the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The results of the research show that from 2011 to 2020, Israel has played an important role in culture and social issues, and the main component of this country in terms of cultural and social influence is the use of Jews living in these countries, which tries to use this Capacity to threaten the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The type of research method in this article is descriptive-analytical and based on library studies.
