Abstract
The politics of global power in the 21st century is characterized by a hegemonic network and opposing forces in the form of standard competition. This article uses a qualitative network method to examine the impact of Iran on the weakening of the US network order. The question is: how has Iran, as an activist network, caused the weakening of the US network order in West Asia? The hypothesis is that Iran, operating with medium agency and a resistance network programming strategy, has challenged the normative validity of US network order programmed in West Asia. The results show that Iran fluctuates between a standard approach and a revisionist, independent and anti-hegemonic approach with high agency. Iran has created a standard in West Asia by forming homogeneous and less homogeneous attachment networks in the region through blocking strategies, alternative channels and minority solidarity. This has resulted in the failure to fulfil the complementary role of the three analogies of American network programming. This has created a standard in West Asia that prevents the programming and installation of American neoliberal standards. Trump's American network has faced fundamental disruption in establishing its network standard over the Iranian network in West Asia due to its very low compatibility and excessive changes in the coding of the global network order operating system program. Due to the lack of compatibility, ideological heterogeneity and high-cost standard conflict between the two networks of Iran and the United States, Iran has blocked any standardization and coding of America's all-encompassing order program with a single center in the West Asian order network.
