| Summary: | The creation of new republics in Central Asia after the Soviet government fall changed the geopolitics of northeast Iran. Thus, the borders of the region, formerly known as threatening borders, evolved as an opportunity to recreate Iran's role in an area outside of Iran's direct influence. The end of the eight-year war between Iran and Iraq and the independence of the Asian countries led Tehran to consider the republics of the region as a new and further opportunity. Throughout this period, with the rise of four constructive governments, reforms, principles, and the hope of relations with the Central Asian region in various political-security, economic and cultural areas. However, the achievements were not expected. Therefore, in this study, in a qualitative and descriptive-analytical approach, we seek to examine the desirable foreign policy pattern of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Central Asian region, and we seek to answer the question that what the most appropriate approach to foreign policy to is secure the interests of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Central Asia? In response to this question, the hypothesis has been examined that the cultural approach is more capable of developing Iranian-Asian relations through the use of semantic components in the form of a joint Islamic-Iranian heritage than other approaches.
