چکیده:
Conventional history has been invariably transcribed by conquerors and based on certain cognitive foundations. The history of diplomacy، international relations and their governing policies have not only not remained immune to this orientation، but specifically been affected and accordingly developed. The expansion of Western domination which gradually took place after the Renaissance، brought along with itself a development in Western epistemology، summarized as the denial of existents and approval of appearances. Machiavelli and Hobbes were the bearers of this shift in the political sphere. As a result of these changes، morality and human dignity were undermined by the false rationalization of realism. Unfortunately، coinciding with these changes in the West، the Islamic East was going through a downward spiral which started with the Mongol assault and the governance of newly converted Muslim military men who inevitably distorted the facets of theoretical discussions. However، when we skip this era of the Islamic East and go further back to study the scripts of Ancient Iran and the period of Islam’s vast development، we will come to find factual and valuable statements derived from fundamental and comprehensive interpretations regarding politics and diplomacy from original sources. This is the exact aim of this study، i.e. to re-extract an Iranian-Islamic approach to diplomacy from proper sources.

These paradigms must be re-extracted from the texts of the ancient history of Iran and between the pages of Islamic sources, and reformed in academic literature and presented to the world of science.
Still, the unanswered question that stands is: why do not governments truly practice the principles of morality and why do we have to hear horrible reports of violations of the rights of immigrants, minorities, prisoners of war as well as the raping of women and children by soldiers throughout the world?
Another example of the morality of Ancient Iran is the tolerance and humanitarian behavior they displayed towards prisoners of war and the defeated.
The Qur’an is the main source of Islamic rules and principles, and contains many verses offering recommendations regarding the rights of minorities, prisoners of war and non-Muslims at the individual and international level.
The Qur’an, as the main source of Islamic law and principles, is fraught with verses about the rights of religious minorities and prisoners of war.
Islamic-Iranian ethics and the publication of historical texts can be one of the soft power sources that Iran can use to enhance its position in the international arena.
