Abstract
After the evolution of the Geo-strategic discourse to a geo-economic discourse in the last decades and the superior role of economy in the global arena, the following issues are settled in an upper level of status: energy geopolitics, energy corridors and energy security.
The present article attempts to answer the following question: What has been the impact of the geo-economic position of the Caspian Sea and the energy pipelines on the interests and the security of the Islamic Republic of Iran? The hypothesis of this article is that after the collapse of the bipolar system, due to its neighborhood with this important region in the energy heartland, the Islamic Republic of Iran is considered as the best, shortest and the most convenience way for energy transfer from this region to other parts of the world.
