Abstract

The historical depth of the concept of political conflict in the political sciences and its practical implications for social-political construction in the form of stability or instigator of insecurity of the Islamic Republic of Iran has provided an opportunity for a fresh reflection on the political conflict in the Islamic Republic of Iran and national security. Therefore, the author has attempted to study and analyze the political conflict by reviewing the theoretical and background of the subject in credible and new sources, through the structure of Islamic thought and the interactive perspective in the study of political conflict as an analytical model of research. In this article, the "posterior analysis method" analyzes the fundamental content of this concept in the works and expressions of Imam Khomeini. This article also recognizes the actors, types, factors, consequences, and solutions to the corresponding security political conflicts by understanding the structure of political thought. The findings of the study indicate the acceptance of the concept of political conflict as "the confrontation of desires and interests and the rejection and extraction of elements and other actors related to that desire or interest in the real and psychological realm and level" influenced by the foundational, attitudinal, behavioral, communicative, spoken elements. And institutional and central are the three communicative, spoken, and institutional factors that manifest themselves as efficient, productive or inefficient and destructive security conflicts.
