One of the strategies that different governments use in certain circumstances to secure their national interests is to apply the theory of deterrence. Considering that today the main concern of the countries in the region and the great Western powers in the Persian Gulf region is the issue of security, and considering that the Islamic Republic of Iran has always rejected the interference of foreigners in the Persian Gulf region and emphasized on collective and local cooperations. As a result, Iran's views on security in the Persian Gulf and its policies have been shaped by internal factors such as opposition to the presence of foreign powers in the Persian Gulf region. The general result of these factors has led Iran to oppose any role for foreign powers, especially the United States, in the security arrangements in the Persian Gulf. In this research, using a descriptive-analytical method and using the theoretical framework of neoclassical realism and the theory of defensive realism, Iran's strategy in providing security in the Persian Gulf region has been studied.

From the beginning of the formation of Islamic independence, various discourses have been formed to counter the threats as well as to secure the national interests. The Persian Gulf region has been one of the priorities of the Islamic Republic. The strategy that has been proposed to ensure the security of the Persian Gulf region is to apply the theory of deterrence. The deterrent strategy balances the confrontation with the United States as well as the countries of the Persian Gulf region and ensures and maintains the security of the Persian Gulf. As the three countries, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, are trying to prevent a security agreement between Iran and the Gulf countries, and their effort is to keep the United States open to the region in order to prevent Iranian influence. Therefore, it is necessary to use a deterrent strategy to deal with crisis-causing and destabilizing factors and to promote Iran's position. According to the research, it should be said that the impact of the strategic security environment of the Persian Gulf on the deterrence system of the Islamic Republic of Iran is that firstly our strategy leads us to a defensive strategy and secondly, our deterrence system leads to triangular and network deterrence. In this descriptive-analytical study, an attempt has been made to study the deterrent system of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Persian Gulf.

In other words, the aim of the present study is to investigate the main cause of tension in the relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia in the Persian Gulf and evaluate it based on the structure of international relations. The research method of this research has been done in terms of descriptive-survey and exploratory data analysis. The research findings show that due to the regional development in the Persian Gulf including the crisis in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and the nuclear deal between Iran and European countries, Iran’s power and influence has been increased and this condition has been considered as a threat by Saudi resulting in an increasing tension and conflicts between the two countries which might develop and continue. Differences in relations between the two countries, which could increase competition. Given the above and Iran's influential power in the region, Saudi Arabia has provided the necessary ground for USA and Israeil influence in the region and has established close ties with Israel. Therefore, the approach of clear political relations in the future of the two countries is vague and tense.
