The impact of foreign policy on internal security: a case study of the effects of sanctions on Iran's national security

This article examines the effects of foreign policies on the internal security of different countries, focusing on issues such as international sanctions, humanitarian crises, and political effects. As hostile foreign policies and sanctions increasingly affect international interactions, the question arises as to how these policies can lead to internal instability and security challenges. In this regard, this article tries to answer the question of how foreign policies can affect the internal security of countries and what factors shape these effects? It is assumed that hostile foreign policies and sanctions lead to internal instability and have a negative impact on the level of social discontent and public security. The findings of the research indicate that the analysis of data related to countries under sanctions, such as Iran and Syria, shows that foreign policies directly lead to an increase in public dissatisfaction and the spread of domestic insecurity. Also, humanitarian crises caused by wars and international conflicts lead to increased migration and pressure on the social and economic infrastructure of the host countries. The results of this study can help policymakers to better understand the relationship between foreign policies and internal security, and design effective solutions to maintain internal security and crisis management. This article answers these questions using qualitative and quantitative analysis and finally provides solutions to improve internal security in the face of foreign policy challenges.
