Abstract
In this regard, during the presidency of Seyyed Mohammad Khatami, from the perspective of the issue of structure-agent interaction, we see a structuralist approach to Iran's foreign policy in the perspective of the Orientalist model. Because although Khatami was critical of some of the
unjust conditions prevailing in the international system, he accepted the basic framework and structural requirements of the international system.Therefore, with the hypothesis that the foreign policy construction of the seventh and eighth governments in the face of international issues
and powers has been influenced by Orientalist knowledge, and also with the content analysis, we address the questions of why foreign policy construction The seventh and eighth states are based
on Orientalist knowledge? And the components of Orientalist policy-making in which axes of foreign policy production of the seventh and eight governments can be identified? Moreover, now that the various aspects of this approach and its most important components and examples have been
exposed and judged, it seems that the structuralist approach based on its acceptance as a subordinate power is not only incompatible with human nature and Islamic thought. Nor will it be able to pursue the national material interests of its claimant.
