Due to the Islamic Republic of Iran's approach to the West, and especially to the United States, Iran has been recognized as a threatening actor and has found an important place in NATO's security approach. NATO's concern over Iran's growing influence in the Arab world, as exemplified by its influence in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Palestine, has led to policies such as NATO's expansion into Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Caucasus, and close security and intelligence and economic cooperation with the Arab countries and the fringe of the Persian Gulf countries. This article tries to answer this question: "What is NATO's approach to confronting the role of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Middle East?" by using an analytical-descriptive method. The findings show that NATO's expansion to the east, while having a negative impact on Iran's relations with the European Union, the Central Asian and Caucasus republics and the Gulf Cooperation Council, will make West, and the United States put more pressure on Iran. NATO seeks to reduce Iran's role and influence in the region with strategically controlling controlling energy and transportation routes and controlling ethnic, political and ideological movements.

Accordingly, the main question of this article is that In the light of ISIS threats in recent years, what is the regional security vision of the Islamic Republic of Iran? The hypothesis of the paper shows that due to the continuation of the drivers of these threats, Iran's regional security lies in a confrontation with the Salafist-Takfiri flow. The present paper, using qualitative methodology, and the bibliographic-descriptive technique divides into two parts.
