The new generation of studies on security is an outcome of the transition from
the Cold War that has turned the traditional concepts and definitions of security
to something new that includes diverse aspects such as political, economic,
social, and environmental matters. This study attempts to discuss and analyze
one of the most dangerous and complicated threats of the world security and an
effective variable on the Islamic Republic of Iran`s security, namely ISIS. In fact,
the study is carried out to answer this fundamental question, “How can Iran`s
security be effected by ISIS as a threat?”. The qualitative analysis of available
data reveals that ISIS presence and influence in the region in terms of security to
act as a double-edged sword for Iran's security. Ignorance about each edge of
the abovementioned blade can result in the flawed analysis of ISIS impacts on
Iran's security. This article is an applied research with qualitative research
method in which an attempt is made to measure the impact of the independent
variable of "ISIS" on "Iran's security".
