The type of international system and its future is one of the subjects which has been theoretically considered by the scholars of international relations. Since the United States succeeded in defeating the communism camp, the future of the new US-led system was re-discussed in academia. Can this country dominate the world for centuries, like its British counterpart, or not? Most thinkers considered the American way in this regard as paved while some attempted to consider Islam as the only barrier to the United States in the coming century. However, no one regarded the axis of resistance in the Middle East and its effect in this regard. The axis of resistance was highly considered after Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon and the defeat of this regime in the 33-day and 22-day war. The discourse of resistance was a critical reading and a constructive and weakening reading of the domination. The present study used Wallerstein's world-system theory and the analytical-descriptive method to investigate the role of the resistance axis in dealing with the domination system and the future of this system. The main hypothesis of this study was that the Iranian-centered resistance front and relying on Islamic ideals in the region could challenge the legitimacy of the domination system and weaken its power. Strengthening this resistance in the future and spreading it to other parts of the world can end the domination system.
