    Abstract:

         Illegal entry of foreigners from the eastern borders into various cities of our country, especially Afghan and Pakistani nationals, has long been considered as one of the problems of Iranian society, and this issue has been discussed over the past years from the perspective of social harms such as begging, slum-dwelling and delinquency. It has been analyzed by experts and experts.

    Islamic Republic of Iran is located in a region of the world that has been under the control of major world powers, and the borders of this country have been greatly affected by these international relations. The heterogeneity of the country's borders in different dimensions is such that few areas of the border are exposed to a certain type of insecurity and abnormal phenomena.

    Sistan and Baluchistan region has a 1100 km border with the countries of Pakistan and Afghanistan and a 300 km water border with the Oman Sea, and it is of great importance due to its strategic and transit position. The geopolitics of Iran and the southeastern region of the country should examine the cultural, social and security issues that have arisen as a result of the illegal entry of foreign nationals into the country and investigate various phenomena of insecurity and anomalies and various types of external and internal threats.

    Due to the importance of the materials and their up-to-dateness and considerations related to the variables and propositions involved in the research process and the wide dimensions of the security-political issues between Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan, the framework of the descriptive method has been used.

    Key words: border, geopolitics, foreign nationals, threats. It is within these border lines that the unity of a political group called the country is formed. The border is a component of the identity of the modern state, which has received the attention of new governments today, in the old political systems, border issues were exclusive to the borders and their solution was easy and quick. But nowadays border challenges are applied to political units and their solution is not so simple. The reason for this complexity can be found in the border functions. Experts and specialists in geopolitics have presented different and complementary opinions regarding the role and functions of the border. Delimitation of regional boundaries, the exercise of government power, the legal or physical proof of a government over a specific territory, the establishment of the ultimate limit of control and sovereignty of each government over its territory and people, are among the functions attributed to the border, which confirms that the border has different roles and functions in political, social, and military categories. Due to its special characteristics, Iran naturally wants to play a role in a way that is commensurate with its power and dignity at the regional level. In this process, the Islamic Republic of Iran considers the increasing presence and influence of America in the regional economic, political and military systems as a direct threat to the country and increasing its role. On the other hand, the United States also considers the increase of Iran's influence in the region, considering the history of policies and the anti-dominion and anti-American nature of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as a threat to its national interests in terms of access to its long-term economic, political, cultural and military strategies. This is an undeniable fact that the country of Iran has either become stronger or weakened and degraded in the course of history due to changes in political borders. It has been under the control of great world powers and the borders of this country have been strongly affected by these international relations. The heterogeneity of the country's borders in different dimensions is such that less areas of the border have been exposed to certain types of insecurity and anomalies, and various types of external and internal threats have affected these anomalies in some way and sometimes fueled them. They affect each other and are affected by each other. A deep look at the developments in the Islamic Republic of Iran and Afghanistan shows that these two countries are affected by each other due to their neighborhood, historical, cultural, linguistic and religious issues.. For example, the civil war in Afghanistan led to instability in Iran's borders and the entry of Afghan immigrants into Iran. At the same time, the occurrence of the Islamic revolution in Iran showed its first effects on Afghanistan, and therefore Iran became one of the supporters of jihadist forces in Afghanistan. The occupation of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union, the competition between the East and the West in this country, the internal war and jihad, the killing of Shiites and the displacement of millions of people, drugs, the issue of Hirmand and so on. . . They are among the issues that Iran has been influenced by, and in some cases, in order to ensure its security and interests, it has inevitably been involved in the developments and issues of Afghanistan. In addition to the above, the rise and fall of the Taliban under the influence of America and the developments in Afghanistan after September 11, 2001, have made the developments in this country more important in relation to Iran's national security. Iran's strategic environment is such that Afghanistan has become one of the most important links in this environment. Today, the lack of peace and security in Afghanistan, the presence of American occupation policies and especially the hidden policies of some countries in order to transfer narcotics and arms smuggling gangs and subversive groups to Iran are things that have always endangered the security stability of the region. The most important sources of political-security tension in Iran-Afghanistan relations can be found in the activities of criminals and drug smugglers inside and beyond the borders, the activities of terrorist groups that commit negative political and anti-security actions. Shund, the presence of Afghan immigrants and the consequences of this presence, smuggling and violent crimes. With the American attack on Afghanistan and the military occupation of that country, the surrounding areas of Iran accepted changes and limited Iran's traditional sphere of influence. The American presence in Afghanistan and Pakistan (indirectly and based on cooperation) reduced Iran's maneuvering power in Afghanistan and expanded the American geopolitical sphere. The nuclearization of Pakistan and the emergence of a nuclear power in Iran's neighborhood and the country's strategic cooperation with the United States in the region, especially in Afghanistan, and the disruption in the formation of strategic relations between Iran, Russia, China and India and the introduction of Afghanistan as a geopolitical competitor for Iran are among the very important factors that have increasingly increased Iran's vulnerability in this geopolitical field (Yonsian, 2010: 57). It can be claimed that a significant part of the influential components in ensuring the country's internal security is somehow affected by variables outside the territorial borders, so any vulnerability in the country's relations with its neighbors provides the basis for a decrease in internal security and national security.

    The importance and necessity of conducting research

    Illegal entry of foreign nationals from the eastern borders into various cities of our country, especially Afghan and Pakistani nationals, has long been considered as one It is one of the problems of the Iranian society and this issue has been analyzed by experts and experts over the past years from the perspective of social harms such as begging, slum living and delinquency.

    Many of the nationals of our country's eastern neighbors have traveled to Iran for various political, economic and social reasons including war, drought and flood in the past years and in some regions of the country, especially the eastern and southeastern regions, as well as the capital city, there is a colorful presence in other parts of the country. Iran's regions are also more or less present. Over the past years, the Islamic Republic of Iran has always been committed to the realization and observance of international Islamic law and the right to neighbor by providing legal residence and employment opportunities for Afghan and Pakistani nationals. However, apart from the benefits of many employers, owners of various industries and businesses in our country from the cheap labor of immigrants from the eastern neighbors, especially Afaghaneh, these illegal and unbridled migrations have imposed a lot of economic and social costs on the Iranian society. Table No. 1 shows that our 1392 km common border with two eastern countries can be important. Everything that has been stated in this context proves the necessity of finding a solution to solve or even reduce the destructive effects of this phenomenon in the country.
