Abstract
The fResearchers involved in foreign policy analysis have expressed their duty to improve foreign policy decision-making. In order to help improve foreign policy decision-making, the authors attempted to pathologize the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Republic of Tajikistan. Swot and Pestel's analysis of the issue shows that Iran's foreign policy has been influenced by domestic weaknesses and environmental opportunities and challenges, and during the period that has elapsed between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Tajik Republic, Iran's foreign policy The country has been most affected by Tajik internal weaknesses and threats to the external environment. It has been important to ask why Iran's foreign policy strategies in the Republic of Tajikistan have not been successful and dynamic. To address the research question, the hypothesis is as follows: The Islamic Republic of Iran's foreign policy strategy in Tajikistan, irrespective of long-term and future research goals, influenced by domestic weaknesses and challenges It has been a failed and passive environment. The theoretical framework of the research was a conceptual design using two strategic management models (Swot and Pestel) and a futuristic approach (scenario-building), qualitative and explanatory research and data collection using library-documentary and internet tools.
