Abstract Iran's foreign policy on the axis of influence after the crisis in Iraq and Syria has been more defensive-security and pragmatic in nature. However, the reactions in the two countries mentioned above have been challenged by the influential powers on the other hand. Therefore, adopting a strategy designed to resolve this contradiction is the issue raised in this study (issue). The author has used a qualitative-interpretive method with a descriptive-analytical approach to prove his hypothesis (method). It seems that Iran has tried to be much more active in the crisis zone than before in order to prevent unwanted changes in the regional balance system, which may jeopardize Iran's current position, and by emphasizing the protection of national interests. Defensive-security and at the same time active foreign policy has tried to maintain and stabilize its regional position and strengthen it at times (hypothesis). Iran's foreign policy approach to both crises, emphasizing the Islamic awakening in these two countries, is completely realistic, pragmatic, security and based on national interests, in order to prevent the penetration of the crises of these two countries to Iran and To maintain and expand its national-political interests in the crisis zone (findings).

Abstract The beginning of the Islamic Awakening movements with emphasis on the reaction paradigm caused systemic crises in the political, economic, cultural and social order in the Middle East. Basically, one of the countries that has changed and emerged from the crisis due to the recent developments in North Africa and the Middle East due to the Islamic Awakening. In this country, due to a series of accumulated challenges and demands, which is manifested in the form of relative deprivation, it entered into a pervasive security dilemma that left the country's decision-making system in crisis. Now, the question arises that in re-reading the phenomenon of Islamic awakening in a reactionary narrative centered on the issue of relative deprivation, how was this issue effective as a catalyst in the emergence of fundamentalist groups such as Jabhat al-Nusra?

Abstract Saudi Arabia, as one of the most important countries in the Middle East, has acted as a conservative country over the past decades and has been largely recognized as an activist who is in favor of the status quo and opposed to change. But during the so-called Islamic Awakening, and especially in the events of the Syrian crisis since 2011, Saudi Arabia's regional behavior reflects the country's transition from a conservative approach to an aggressive foreign policy approach. Accordingly, the main question is “What is the Saudi Arabia's foreign policy approach in support of takfiri–jihadist groups?” (Problem) To answer this question, using descriptive-analytical method and data collection using existing articles, documents and library resources (Method), it has been concluded that Saudi Arabia's strategies regarding takfiri-jihadi groups in the region, and especially in Syria, include a wide range of direct support, consensus building at the level of regional organizations, and alliances with some countries in the region. Finally, it can be acknowledged that this kind of aggressive approach and modeling of takfiri-jihadi groups will be troublesome for the sovereignty and Wahhabi discourse of Saudi Arabia in the near future (Findings).
