Security complex represents a unique group of countries where the process of "security building" and "making insecure" or both for this group of countries are increasingly related with each other. In other words, their main security concern is so intertwined that their security problems cannot be solved independently. Thus conceived, "hydropolitic complexes" include those countries which are geographically the owner and from technical point of view, are the user of part of the shared river. In fact, a group of the countries which are considered to be part of a region due to their water resources (rivers, lakes and aquifers), would have no common geographical borders but their "national security" and "hydropolitic security" are so interrelated that their security and hydropolitc problems cannot be resolved without their cooperation. The methodology of current descriptive-analytic study focused on Mesopotamia and Hirmand drainage basins (in parts of Iran), is grounded on the hypothesis that in a hydropolitic complex in the same way that the threatening of water security of each one of the member states might lead to the threatening of national security of other members, some threats can be posed against the water security of each one of the member states due to the threatening of the national security of other members. The data required for this research have been collected using library sources (books, journals and internet). The results of this study showed that how hydropolitic security is endangered following the eruption of insecurity in Afghanistan. At Tigris and Euphrates Basin, the climate changes and Turkey's inattention to hydropolitic security of Syria (by closing the floodgates of the dams) provided the ground for the emergence of internal crisis in Syria, and its reverberations posed serious threats against the security of Turkey, Iraq and Iran.

Water scarcity is considered to be the root of underdevelopment and poverty and has the potential to shape the feeling of poverty and deprivation in individuals and society. Accordingly, this study aims to explain the connection between "feeling of relative deprivation" and "hydropolitical relations", while studying the construction process of Gauvshomar dam in Lorestan province, question; How does not building a dam affect the formation of a sense of relative deprivation in the people of an area? Follow up. The research method is descriptive-analytical with a quantitative and qualitative approach and based on documentary-library studies and field observation. The questionnaire is a measurement tool and SPSS analysis tool. Indicators used in research (economic, social, cultural, environmental-physical, political-security). The results showed that the lack of construction of the dam has increased the feeling of relative deprivation in terms of economic, social, cultural, environmental-physical, political-security and in general the formation of dissatisfaction in the people of the study area.

One of the problems in analyzing hydro-political relations in the system of international rivers is that the same factors can create a wide range of conflict or cooperation, and even an identical variable may play a different role in relation to other variables in each coastal country; Therefore, the recognition of the variables and the role that each variable has in developing a pattern of analysis of opportunities and risks for countries that share transboundary waters with other countries is essential. Iran is in the Harirud basin shared with Afghanistan. The presence of this basin in a dry and semi-arid strip of world has caused Iran's dependence on the water of Harirud to provide water to the east and northwest, and especially to the metropolis of Mashhad. Therefore, the research question is: What are the variables and indicators effective on the Strategic Importance of Harirud for Iran? For this purpose, 86 indicators were identified using library and field studies and categorized in geographical-geopolitical, technical-economical, and political-social variables in expert meetings with experts. After identifying the most important variables using the Delphi method, the role of each variable in the structural analysis of the variables has been investigated with the help of the Micmac software. The results indicate that geopolitical -geographical variables are the most effective and Most impressive variables, and indicators of the importance of Harirud for drinking water, food security, security of water resources and Afghanistan's position in Iran's foreign policy, strategic indicators for the importance of Heriud for Iran.

The position of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers is in the least compatible with national borders or with the political and strategic considerations of regional countries. The sources of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers are located in Turkey, and Turkish authorities believe they own the resources. A project called "Gap" or "Anatolian" in the framework of the construction of more than 22 dams and 19 hydroelectric projects and development of the agricultural system in the Tigris and Euphrates watersheds has been on the Turkish governmentchr('39')s agenda by 2023, reflecting the security threat. The environmental and water security of the downstream countries (Iraq, Syria and Iran) have been demonstrated. The present study is based on the assumption of reflecting the Hydropolitic relations of the Tigris and Euphrates basin (based on Gap Project) with the viewpoint of continuing climate change and changing rainfall patterns and increasing water use in downstream countries using library resources. In the form of a threat to the security of the southwestern areas of Iran, it will intensify. The results showed that the consequences of the Hydropolitic approach of the Tigris and Euphrates countries, especially Turkey, besides threatening environmental security, affect other aspects of security in the economic, social and political spheres in the southwest of the country.

 Water is a strategic and rare resource that has been severely limited in recent years due to various national and transnational variables and has severely affected the areas of security, stability, development and prosperity in countries. The high impact of water in the aforementioned areas has placed water at the center of foreign policy and hydropolitical relations of many countries, including South West Asia. In recent years, despite the issue of the water crisis and its role in the relations between Iran and Iraq in scientific, political and media circles, the dimensions of this issue remain unknown and different interpretations have been given. The current research, which is of a research nature and the required inputs were collected in a library method with the aim of obtaining a qualitative understanding of the dimensions and angles of the hydropolitical relations between Iran and Iraq, is based on the fact that, in addition to identifying the content and methodological features, the research gaps To identify the existing in this field with qualitative meta-analysis method. Using the qualitative meta-analysis method, this research has examined 34 researches conducted in the period of 2014-1402 in the form of domestic scientific-research articles, dissertations and articles in prestigious international journals. The results of the research showed that a comprehensive study has not been conducted that has investigated and analyzed the various dimensions of the hydropolitical relations between Iran and Iraq. In this regard, the lack of accurate and real data and the weakness of the theoretical-cognitive foundations of the research are among the shortcomings of the research conducted in the field of relations between the two countries.
