Following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the declaration of independence by formerly Soviet-controlled states, the stability and security of the South Caucasus and Central Asia have faced challenges due to the emergence of nationalist tendencies, internal crises, weak state-building processes, the involvement of external actors, and the competition among these actors—who often possess conflicting interests. The Soviet dissolution and subsequent geopolitical transformations in the Caucasus region amplified the significance and influence of geopolitical factors in this area. Given Iran’s geographical proximity and shared historical-cultural ties with this region, the geopolitical dynamics of the Caucasus can be considered influential on the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The central question arising is: What implications has the recent crisis had for Iran, particularly in its security environment? The primary hypothesis of this article, seeking to address this question, posits that recent developments and ongoing changes may impact Iran’s economy, politics, and peripheral security environment, exposing it to challenges from both regional and extra-regional actors. This qualitative research employs an explanatory methodology to examine how the recent crisis will affect regional states, particularly Iran, and how the great-power competition in the South Caucasus has subjected Iran’s peripheral security environment to challenges posed by regional and extra-regional players.
