Abstract: (629 Views)

The development of relations between Iran and China in 2016 and the signing of a 25-year joint cooperation program caused the reaction of Iran's competitors at the global and regional level. In this regard, the member states of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council sought to compete with Iran in order to strengthen their position in China's development-oriented and balanced policy in the region. The purpose of this article is to explain how the deepening of relations between China and the countries of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council has an effect on Iran, and in a formative-explanatory way, it answers the question of how the expansion of cooperation between China and the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf from 2016-2023 will affect the relations between Iran and Iran. Has Tehran-Beijing been affected? The answer to the hypothesis is that in the period from 2016 to 2023, a multi-level interaction between China and the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf has been formed, and due to the overlapping of their areas of interaction with the areas of advantage of Tehran-Beijing relations, there is a ground for neutralization. It has provided the development of cooperation between Iran and China. The results show that China, in line with balancing with the United States, and the Arab countries of the region, in line with balancing with Iran, are advancing this process of developing cooperation, but this development will probably have serious negative effects for Iran's interests.
