Abstract
In the contemporary world, the foreign policy of each country is tied to numerous social factors and relations, such as social, economic, cultural, and political factors, and is not a phenomenon that can be studied in an abstract manner and separately from these influential factors. Consequently, in the field of foreign policy analysis of countries, the factors affecting a country's decision-making and diplomatic behavior have always been analyzed from various angles. The study and analysis of foreign policy from the perspective of the country's leaders is one of these factors under study, which although is not the only influential factor and cannot replace other factors alone, ignoring its impact on the governance of foreign policy of countries is also far from wise, because the role of leadership in the political system of Velayat-e-Faqih is very influential, and on the other hand, the leadership's perspective can determine the main direction and destination of the country's diplomatic apparatus.

For this reason, in this research, using documentary studies and library resources and the method of content analysis, we have attempted to understand the indicators and characteristics of foreign policy governance and policymaking in the emerging new world order. Also, according to the studies conducted, it seems that the most important concept among them is the concept of "the world in transition and the need to increase influence on the future order," which is a key keyword in determining the style and context of the Islamic Republic of Iran's interactions with other actors in the international arena.
