Abstract
The Shiite world, as one of the most important religious and political communities in the world, has always had a profound impact on political, social and economic developments in various regions. The historical, religious, cultural and geopolitical impacts of this world are clearly visible in regional and global developments, especially in the Islamic world. Therefore, understanding the various dimensions of Shiite geopolitics not only helps to better understand the internal and external relations of Shiite communities, but is also an essential tool for analyzing and predicting global and regional policies in today's world.

The present article is written with the aim of examining the various dimensions of Shiite geopolitics and its role in regional and global policies. This work intends to analyze the geographical location of Shiite communities in the context of historical, social and cultural developments, and specifically examine the role of Shiite in global strategies, great powers and international relations. In this regard, geopolitical theoretical concepts and models from the Shiite perspective, the relations of these societies with non-Shiite countries, and the mutual influence of religion and politics in determining the strategic position of Shiite countries in the global arena are discussed and analyzed.
