This is the main hypothesis of the present paper which is based on nine variables. These variables analyzed in comparison with the traditional geopolitical indexes of Turkey are as follows: The improvement and enforcement of Islamic world interrelationship, the possibility of improvement of relations between Iran and EU, more security in Iranian borders, increase in economic investment in Iran, easy access to trans-regional markets, increase in importance of energy in Iran, weakening the triangle of the United States, Turkey and Israel; The settlement of the Kurdish crisis; The probability of Iran’s Membership in the EU and the decline of Pan-Turkism.
