Özet:

 The Islamic Republic of Iran faced severe security problems shortly after the Islamic Revolution. The experiences gained from these threats have thoughtfully shaped Irans defense strategy in the following years. Forward defense and deterrence concepts are essential toIrans defense strategy. The proxy power strategy, which has been actively carried out since the Revolution, can also be considered an extension of Irans forward defense and deterrence concept. In this context, Iran is in contact with and manages many groups, large and small, over a wide geography, from Afghanistan to Nigeria and Yemen to Syria. Thus, it seeks to meet potential threats beyond its borders and increase its sanction power in these countries by building groups that will act in parallel with its own policies. He establishes affinity with these groups largely through an identity-based discourse. The Azerbaijan Islamic Resistance Organization HüseynçilərHusayniyyun, which has started to work for the Republic of Azerbaijan since 2013 and whose activities have become visible since 2015, is one of the proxy forces that Iran supports within the scope of these policies. In this study, the background and organizational structure that form the basis of the discourse and activities of this organization, through which Iran is directed and managed within the scope of the proxy power strategy, will be discussed.

 İran İslam Cumhuriyeti, İslam Devriminin gerçekleşmesinden kısa bir süre sonra bir dizi ciddi güvenlik problemleriyle karşı karşıya kalmıştır. Söz konusu tehditlerden edinilen tecrübeler sonraki yıllarda İranın savunma stratejisini ciddi anlamda şekillendirmiştir. İleri savunma ve caydırıcılık konsepti İranın savunma stratejisinde oldukça önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Devrimden bu yana aktif bir şekilde yürütülen vekil güç stratejisi de İranın ileri savunma ve caydırıcılık konseptinin uzantısı olarak değerlendirilebilir. Bu bağlamda İran, Afganistandan Nijeryaya, Yemenden Suriyeye kadar çok geniş bir coğrafyada irili ufaklı birçok grupla temas halindedir. Böylece olası tehditleri sınırlarının ötesinde karşılamayı ve çevre ülkeler üzerinde kendi politikalarıyla paralel hareket edecek gruplar inşa ederek bu ülkelerdeki etkisini artırmak istemektedir. Bu gruplarla büyük ölçüde kimlik temelli bir söylem üzerinden yakınlık kurmaktadır. 2013 yılından itibaren Azerbaycan Cumhuriyetine yönelik çalışmalara başlayan ve 2015ten itibaren faaliyetleri gözle görünür hale gelen Azerbaycan İslami Direniş Örgütü HüseynçilerHüseyniyyun de İranın bu politikaları kapsamında desteklediği vekil güçlerden birisidir. Bu çalışmada İranın vekil güç stratejisi kapsamında sevk ve idare ettiği bu örgütün söylemlerinin ve faaliyetlerinin temelini oluşturan arka plan ile örgüt yapılanması ele alınmaktadır.
