During the years 2015-2023, we can witness growing and stable relations between Iran and Russia. The structural components have a limiting and controlling role in some periods, and in others as a catalyst, they have facilitated and accelerated the development process of the relations between the two countries. Two structural components in the foreign policy of the two countries have affected the dynamics of bilateral relations. First, the JCPOA, in which Russia played an important role. The second component was the Ukraine crisis in 2022, and Iran’s role has been noticed by analysts. The development model of Iran-Russia relations since 2015 is influenced by these two components. In this article, we seek to answer the main question and problem, which structural components have affected the development model of relations between Iran and Russia in this period? Our primary hypothesis to answer the main issue of the article is the JCPOA as a structural factor affecting Iran's foreign policy and the Ukraine war 2022 as a structural factor affecting Russia's foreign policy. The type of encounter of two countries with the structural factors affecting the other, has led to proliferation of these relations

With power succession of “ justice and development” party in Turkey in
2002 the foreign policy of this country in regional and far regional relations has
seriously changed. Before 2000 Turkeys foreign policy was far westernized and
the government policy-making was west, specially US, oriented. But with rise of
justice and development government in Turkey, the country’s foreign policy
changed to a multidimensional pragmatic interest-based policy .one aspect of
this policy modified foreign policy toward collaboration with neighbors in order
to enhance Turkey’s role in the region including south Caucasus. This study
tries to evaluate Turkey foreign policy in Caucasus and its conflicting interests
with the two powerful countries of area – Iran and Russia. The main question of
this study is concentrated on the Turkey’s Caucasian Policy and its affects on
interests of Iran and Russia. The hypothesis of the paper is that new Turkey’s
foreign policy in the region brought contradiction between the country and two
abovementioned powerful neighbors.

The natures of international phenomena have shown that great powers, far beyond different kinds of rivalries, tend to stabilize equation of power in the international environment. With outbreak of the Syrian crisis, Signs of this type of relationship has been observed between Russia and the United States since 2011. The main features of these relations include concepts such as Encouragement, Containment, Withdraw, and Resolution Building. In this paper, we review the functions of each of these concepts trough the Modelski crisis management model. The question of the paper highlights the main strategy of the two major powers, Russia and the United States, towards the Syrian crisis. Results reveal that the two consider mutual interaction and international interests in crisis management measures. Hence, they approaching the pattern of competition and cooperation, remaining from the Cold War.
