Abstract

Counter-terrorism is one of the few topics that has gathered most countries and nations to have consensus upon it and anything to the contrary widely seems abnormal. Hence such consensus has not stopped differences of viewpoints on the phenomenon. More than 50 years after dealing with the issue of countering terrorism and its various aspects at the international level as well as the United Nations, and the establishment of extensive mechanisms (international and regional regimes) there still exists differences of opinion. These differences include the concept of terrorism, criteria for identifying the cases, and its relations with other issues of international peace and security.. This regime, while imposing certain restrictions, also creates opportunities for countries that take active roles in the fight against terrorism to take advantages in their international environment. Taking advantage of these opportunities depends on the realization of certain conditions, the most important of which is the place of terrorism in their foreign policy agenda and in relations with other states. Materials and Methods :The present study seeks to determine the approach and view of the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the international regimes against terrorism during the years that are the peak period of a new type of terrorism in the world, ie the period when terrorist groups have land and governance in their own way.
