Abstract

Since the beginning of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979 in Iran, the Islamic Republic has always been in tension and indirect conflict, especially in the Middle East region, with the countries of the Western bloc. But one of the most important issues in the political structure of the Islamic Republic, and its importance has increased now, is Syria and the crisis in this land. This crisis, which was considered the most complex political and security challenge in the region at the time of its occurrence, caused a series of countries to face each other indirectly. Syria is a country that since the victory of the Islamic Revolution has had a deep supporting and influential role in the implementation of the Islamic Republic's thoughts at the international level. Due to its geography, this land determines many equations in the Middle East.
In this regard, the existing research seeks to answer the question that the Islamic Republic has drawn its foreign policy strategy in relation to the crisis of the Syrian Arab Republic by referring to what characteristics? In the hypothesis stated for this question, we will come to the fact that considering the salience and importance of the Syrian land, the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic is focused on maintaining the status quo.
