Abstract
Abdel Fattah al-Sisi changed Egyptian foreign policy strategy after gaining power in Cairo. Al-Sisi is following a realistic trend in foreign policy. But he is also trying to limit Iran's regional influence through an offensive approach. Meanwhile, the expansion of cooperation with Israel and active participation in the anti-Iranian regional coalition threatens Iran's national security. With this in mind, the present study seeks to answer the fundamental question of what requirements the foreign policy strategy of Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in the region has created for the foreign policy and national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran? In this paper, "Copenhagen School’s theory of Regional Security", "offensive realism" and the decision-making theory are used as a combined theoretical framework. Furthermore, the research method of this essay is descriptive-analytical. findings of the present study indicate that Egypt, with its growing intimacy to Israel, establishing an Arabian front with the participation of the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, pursuing confrontational policies against resistance movement in the region, and widespread confrontation against Tehran’s regional policies, affects Iran’s national security. Therefore, cairo’s behaviour has created the need for reconsideration of Iran’s type of interaction with Egypt at both levels of confrontation and de-escalation.
