Abstract

Terrorism can be evaluated as acting geopolitics in the Middle East, this phenomenon has been able to gradually increase its influence in the region and to attract new followers from different parts of the world. In recent years, the number of terrorist groups have significantly increased and terrorist activities has now become very important in the Middle East and global security issues. This article using "Trend impact Analysis" as a qualitative method and the emphasis both on the teaching of the theory of “Totalitarianism” and David Rapoport “The Four Waves of Modern Terrorism”” Theory. post-event field studies in this article, show what is the nature and distinctions of ISIS (The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) terrorism with previous waves of modern terrorism. According this point of view, a new wave of international terrorism as "Totalterrorism" with exotic and quasi-religious nature and yet distinct from Islamic fundamentalism is emerging. This study could demonstrate a different perspective of the developments in the Middle East and shows what threats, poses to Iran's national security.
