Port-maritime diplomacy is one of the important components in the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which plays a vital role in Iran's economic, security, and political relations, especially due to the country's strategic geographical location in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman. Iran, with its long coastlines and numerous ports in the south and north of the country, is able to use this position to strengthen its position in global shipping, international trade, and global energy supply. The type of this research is descriptive-analytical; and an attempt has been made to analyze the current state of the Islamic Republic of Iran's port-maritime diplomacy and its impact on the country's foreign policy using a qualitative research method with library studies and the use of existing data and resources.
This article analyzes the challenges and opportunities that affect the policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the field of port-maritime diplomacy. Among the challenges that Iran faces in this regard are international and economic sanctions, regional security threats, and fierce competition with neighboring countries in the development of ports and shipping, the lack of port infrastructure, advanced technologies, and skilled manpower, which Iran must pay attention to in order to develop its port diplomacy. And the opportunities include developing trade relations with Central Asian, Indian, and African countries, attracting foreign investments, and using ports as international trade hubs. Also, Iran can use Chabahar Port as a gateway for transit of goods to Indian and Central Asian countries and through it to Europe, in order to strengthen Iran's maritime security and geopolitical influence. Ultimately, Iran's port-maritime diplomacy, by addressing challenges, strengthening opportunities, and improving port infrastructure and maritime technologies, developing shipping, and multilateral interactions with different countries, can be recognized as a key player in global trade and maritime security and play an important role in achieving its foreign policy goals.
