Abstract
Iran's environment,which is perhaps the most sensitive security environment in the world, is full of threats and opportunities that affect our country’s national interests and security And in recent years ,global arrogance-frustrated with achieving its goals in controlling the Islamic Revolution-has put the creation and development of proxy warfare on its agenda in which the enemy is not one country or international coalition, but new emerging groups with complicated organization, unsparing financial and equipment support and the system of recruiting human beings with takfiri belief. With regard to the growing threats posed by these types of wars that have emerged in Iran's security environment ,And the fragile condition of neither war nor peace between Iran and the United States -despite relative stability over the past four decades - has always been talented to change and transform and has led to a serious possibility of proxy war or full-scale military conflict. Therefore, in this article, we explore to explain the philosophy of proxy wars in the new era. So,to achieve these goals, a descriptive-analytical method has been used and its statistical population includes published documents and resources which are available to the researcher. As a result, the proxy warfare is often used in direction of the goals of rival powers in order to avoid direct and face-to-face warfare, which can cause great material and spiritual damage. In the new era, it is also used as one of the tools to advance big goals.
