Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the emergence of Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia as independent states, the Caucasus region has been marked by persistent conflicts and disputes. The involvement of major powers and regional actors, particularly Iran, has significantly influenced the region’s dynamics. As a neighbor to both Azerbaijan and Armenia, Iran’s strategic orientations and policies have played a pivotal role in shaping its relations with Azerbaijan, especially in light of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. This article aims to analyze Iran’s foreign policy towards Azerbaijan after the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War through the lens of James Rosenau’s continuity model, focusing on its five variables. Employing qualitative methods, the study seeks to answer the question: What factors, as identified by Rosenau’s theory, have profoundly shaped Iran’s foreign policy towards Azerbaijan following the Second Karabakh War? The hypothesis posits that the war’s aftermath, particularly the influence of societal and systemic variables, has heightened the security concerns underpinning Iran’s foreign policy towards the Republic of Azerbaijan. In this study a quantitative approach and structural-interpretive modeling (ISM) have been used
