چکیده:
The 7th to 10th centuries BC coincided with the rule of Assyrian Empire in the Mesopotamia, and the earliest instances of political confrontation in northwest Iran. These areas were home to the Manna tribes, who had gradually joined to gather in the region and established a monarchy following recurrent attacks by both Assyrian and Urartu governments. The rise and fall of Mannaean is marked by ambiguities and obscurities due to lack of Mannaean written resources, and so the reconstruction of its political relations with the powerful state of Assyria is only possible through exploration of Assyrian Annual reports. This study aims to elucidate the political relations between Manna and Assyria, and their role in regional control. The data was sourced from Assyrian Annual reports concerning the Manna people, whose history of political life, from the beginning until their integration into the Median government, has been classified into four periods. Finally, the study examined the role of Mannaean-Assyrian political relations in the Mannaean culture and society.

Keywords: Mana, Assyria, Annals, Political relations Introduction In the first millennium BC, the Mana peoples were inhabitants of the western and northwestern regions of Iran (Malazadeh, 2009: 45) and during the years concurrent with the Assyrian Empire in Mesopotamia (7th-10th centuries BC), they were among the most powerful local governments in the region.
The Assyrian annals, in the form of letters from the Assyrian kings to the god Ashur, are reports of the most important annual political events, prepared in three copies and kept in temples and royal archives; today, they are considered among the most important primary sources for historical and archaeological research on the Mana peoples, who played an important and influential role in shaping the first foundations of an independent government in Iran and the cultural, artistic, and religious foundations of their era.
Considering the contents of the Assyrian reports from 843 BC to 631 BC, the political relations between the two states of Assyria and Mana can be divided into four general periods, and each can be examined: placed: 1-3 The beginning of the emergence of Mana in history and military confrontations (9th Century BC) The military campaign reports of the Assyrian kings from the time of Adad-nirari I (1305-1274 BC) indicate their repeated attacks beyond the eastern and northeastern borders of Assyria.
At this time, the Urartians stopped the scope of their attacks to the western regions and concentrated their military power on northwestern Iran, attempting to remove Assyrian dominance over the Manaean regions, which finally led to the occurrence of wars during the years 719-714 BC, between these two governments in the land of Mana and the city of Musasir.
