Abstract. The ISIL terrorist group is one of salafi jihadist currents which was established and acitvated when USA and its allies attacked to Iraq. This salafi jihadist group has occupied some parts of Iraq and Syria lands in the axis of resistance which includes part of strategy security of Islamic Republic of Iran through its terrorist acts and by the support of some regional and trans-regional countries. Therefore, since any instability and chaos in the region of resistance axis threats the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran, real recognition of such threats in surrounding areas of Islamic Republic of Iran for adapting counteract strategies is critical. Thus, the aim of the current study is diagnosing the effects of security threats of salafi jihadist ISIL group on the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran and resistance axis. In other words, its been attempted to find an answer to this question that what
could be the possible threats of slefi jihadi ISIL group on the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran and resistance axis? What dimensions of the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran and resistance axis will be involved? In answering these question this hypothesis was taken into account that the threats induced by this group will be on different political, security, military, economical, and social levels. In addition, the presence of ISIL as a threat factor in Shitte geopolitic will bring about damage to pure Islam Mohammadi, weakness of resistacne axis, turn of power balance in favor of Israeli occupying regime and conservative Arab countries, the second presence of USA in a coalition against ISIL and physical besiege of Iran in Shitte geopolitics. Researchers in this study have investigated the
effect of ISIL threats on the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran and resistance axis by the theory of Copenhagen school and descriptive-survey method through using library instruments.
