  • Analysis of Iran's International Borders from the Perspective of Stephen
    Geopolitics Quarterly, Volume: 13, No 4, Winter 2018 PP 308-334 Analysis of Iran’s International Borders from the Perspective of Stephen Jones Mosayeb Gharehbeygi - PhD Student of Political Geography, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran Sajjad Pourali Otikand- M.A of Political Geography, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran Received: 04/09/2016 Accepted: 08/05/2017 __________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Borders which are specified by natural, man-made or contractual terrain specify the sovereignty limit of a state in a territory and with passing a line-like distance and the border line between two countries we will reach another state with a different political structure. The sensitivity of the border concept and the huge effects it has one national security and wars and conflicts and as well as on interactions between the countries has attracted a special attention toward it. Political geography as the main knowledge regarding the studies about the border possesses a more extensive background comparing to the other related sciences. Typology studies and classification of the borders with studying border from physical or cultural point of view and also classifying it based on border conflicts have allocated a special place to them. In line with this, Jones has provided his classification of borders according to their relationships with the type of border conflicts. Considering this approach, the international borders of Iran also, as the lines confiding the territories of this country, have formed a significant part of the academic and management studies in Iran and a large part of these studies have been conducted by geographers, and especially political geographers.

  • Beyond Borders the Expansionist Ideology of Iran's Islamic
    Beyond Borders The Expansionist Ideology of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps KASRA AARABI FEBRUARY 2020 Contents Executive Summary 5 The Approach: Understanding the IRGC Training Materials 7 Key Findings 7 Policy Recommendations 8 Introduction 11 A Common Ideology 14 Our Approach 15 Background – The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps 17 Indoctrination: An Increasing Focal Point for the IRGC 19 Inside the IRGC’s Ideological Training Programme 25 Objectives: The Grand Vision 27 Group Identity: Defining the ‘Ingroup' 31 Conduct: Actions Permissible and Necessary 36 The Enemy: Defining the ‘Outgroup’ 44 Conclusion 53 Endnotes 55 Appendix 67 3 4 Executive Summary Unlike the Iranian army that protects Iran’s borders, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is mandated by Iran’s constitution to pursue “an ideological mission of jihad in God’s way; that is extending sovereignty of God’s law throughout the world.”1 Since the inception of this paramilitary force in 1979, the Guard has emerged as the principal organisation driving the Iranian regime’s revolutionary Shia Islamist ideology, within and beyond the regime’s borders. Over these 40 years, it has been linked to terrorist attacks, hostage-takings, maritime piracy, political assassinations, human rights violations and the crushing of domestic dissent across Iran, most recently with bloodshed on the Iranian streets in November 2019, leaving 1,500 people dead in less than two weeks.2 Today, the IRGC remains Lebanese Hizbullah’s prime benefactor, with the Guard known to be providing arms, training and funding to sustain the group’s hostile presence against Israel and its grip on Lebanese society, and key operational assistance that has resulted in attacks on civilians stretching from Argentina, Bulgaria to Thailand.

  • Initial Conquest of India by Turks and Their Slaves
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (JHSS) ISSN: 2279-0837, ISBN: 2279-0845. Volume 5, Issue 4 (Nov. - Dec. 2012), PP 01-14 www.Iosrjournals.Org Initial Conquest of India by Turks and Their Slaves Mustafa Sareer Research Scholar Aligarh Muslim University Aligarh,Utter Pradesh 202002 The very word „Turk‟ or „Türk‟ appears as the name of a central-Asian nomad people only from the sixth century A.D. onwards.When in 552 the „Turk‟ Qaghnate was founded on the Orkhon river in Mongolia. The Chinese name for the Turks was Tu-kuch, which was apparently derived from Türküt, The Mongol plural of Türk.The Greeks called them Tourkoi, The Arabs Atrak (sg.Turk), while in New Persian they became known as Turkan (sg.Turk). In Sanskrit they were called Turushkāh, while the Tibetians identified all Turks with the Qarlugh tribe, and hence referred to the Turks usually as Garlog. Originally,Türk was an ethnonym which was associated with a small tribe headed by the Ashina clan; it meant „The Strong One‟ and fell within the semantic range of a whole series of tribal names which connoted „Force‟, „Violence‟, „Ferociousness‟ and so on. These original Türks or Türkü had, in the first half of the fifth century, become vassals of another nomadic empire, that of the Juan-Juan. In the middle of the sixth century, however, the Turks destroyed the Juan-Juan empire while founding there own there own nomad state. This state reached at its greatest extent from the Great Wall to the Oxus and even beyond,covering therefore not only the whole of the inner and outer Mongolia but also settled areas far to the west.

Changes in the Epidemiology of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Northeastern Iran. Turkiye Parazitol Derg 2020;44(1):52-7. ABSTRACT The province of Khorasan-Razavi in the North East of Iran is an endemic area for anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL caused mainly by Leishmania tropica) and zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL caused mainly by Leishmania major). Based on clinical signs, some cities were considered as ACL foci while others were considered to be endemic for ZCL. This paper reviews studies performed on patients diagnosed with cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) via the use of direct slide examination, ELISA, electrophoresis isoenzyme, RAPD PCR and PCR in Mashhad; the study also includes cases of CL in other cities of the Khorasan-Razavi province where only PCR used as a diagnostic tool.

  • Iran and Its Boundaries in Challenging with Foreign Relation (1789 - 1836)

Tel: 98-914-960-9010. E-mail: [email protected] Received: January 25, 2012 Accepted: March 11, 2012 Published: July 1, 2012 doi:10.5539/ach.v4n2p159 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ach.v4n2p159 Abstract From ancient times, Iran’s boundaries were formed by Iranian kings’ struggles. From that time, an imagination about these boundaries was formed in Iranian minds and has been continued until now. So, one of the important duties of Iranian kings was to expand Iran’s boundaries to that of ancient times. The aim of this research is to investigate Iran’s relations with European countries and the role of these relations in forming the Iran’s boundaries from 1789 to 1828. In this research, a descriptive-analytic method is used. The findings of this research show that in Qajar dynasty, Agha Muhammad Khan and Fath Ali shah made some great attempts to expand Iran’s boundaries to that of ancient times in order to, through which, can legitimate their rule on Iran. These actions made Iran to enter European countries’ politics widely. Russia advanced in Caucasus and the Britain entered Iran’s affairs widely to protect its realms in India, and France set a relationship with Iran in order to access India.

Its climatic, geographical, and geological conditions make surrounding lands, including its eastern shores, very special. This has played an important role in creating the historical events in the region. The eastern regions of the Caspian Sea, the motherland of Turkmens, especially during the reign of Naser al-Din Shah, became very important for Russians. Thus, to achieve their own colonial desire and fulfill the testament of Peter the Great, they carried out military operations and spent considerable cost to enter Iran again. This incident left profound effects on the region. From a geo-historical viewpoint and adopting a descriptive-analytical method, this article examines the climatic characteristics and position of the eastern regions of the Caspian Sea.
