Abstract
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.
