Abstract

The most prominent determinants of this study revolved around the Iranian goals of developing relations with Beijing, which were evident on the political side in the desire to strengthen the strategy of confrontation with Washington and the presence of an internal trend in Iran that encourages pursuing this path, in parallel with coordination with China in various conflict areas. As for the effects caused by the development of relations between China and Iran, they became clear in the political field in bringing about a solution to the crises of the countries of the Arab region, and reducing Washington’s role in parallel with the rise of the Chinese role. In the military field, China has entered the region's arms market and expanded its role in the field of non-traditional security, combating piracy, and enhancing maritime security. On the economic side, the rate of trade exchange between China and the Arab countries increased, and this was accompanied by entering into new economic partnerships. The study ended by presenting some proposals aimed at reducing the negative repercussions associated with the development of relations between Tehran and Beijing on the Arab region.
