Fundamentalist terrorism has been one of the important challenges of regional and even global peace and security in the last few decades. The Islamic Revolution of Iran and Russia have been subject to the threat of fundamentalist terrorism in some way. In this paper, an attempt is made to investigate the approach of the Islamic Revolution and Russia against fundamentalist terrorism. The fundamental question that is raised and examined is what approach have the Islamic Revolution and Russia adopted against fundamentalist terrorism? The present paper is descriptive and analytical and investigates the mentioned question using the library method. Findings of the paper indicate that fundamentalist terrorism is considered a serious threat to Islamic Revolution of Iran due to ideological reasons, threatening territorial integrity, and violence in the region, and also in the documents and strategy of Russia's national security, terrorism, including fundamentalist terrorism, is considered a serious threat to national security of this country. The strategy of the Islamic Revolution against fundamentalist terrorism can be explained both in the hardware dimension in the form of consulting and military intervention, and in the software dimension in the form of media activity as well as the formation of a regional alliance with countries such as Russia. In Russia's strategy against fundamentalist terrorism, military intervention and the use of regional alliances have had a special place, which can be explained as commonalities of the approach of the Islamic Revolution and Russia against fundamentalist terrorism.
