Abstract
Objective: Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the United States became the sole superpower on the world stage. At the same time, the rise and alignment of emerging powers such as Iran, Russia, and China indicate the future transformation of power in the international system from unipolar to multipolar. Thus, the main question of the research is What place will Iran, Russia, and China have in the geometry of the future world order? Method: This research is qualitative in nature and is analytically descriptive in terms of its implementation method. The method of collecting data and research information is also library and online. Findings: The findings of the research are that although American hegemony still dominates the geometry of the current world order; However, with this country’s sole reliance on militarism and the rise of emerging powers, Washington is experiencing a downward trend in the global power basket, which reflects the transformation of the international order from unipolar to multipolar. The redistribution of power in the international system, while declining the status of the United States from a superpower to a major global power, will help develop the power of Iran, Russia, and China and provide them with more opportunities at the global level. Conclusion: The research results show that all three countries, Iran, Russia and China, using their capacities and cards in their hands, are trying to challenge the unipolar order and gain a greater share in the distribution of global power. The formation of a multipolar world order will lead to the promotion and consolidation of the international position of Tehran, Moscow and Beijing and the change of the international balance of power in their favor, which will contribute significantly to the decline and isolation of Washington in the global arena.
