The primary objective of this study is to examine the mechanisms, challenges, and solutions related to the management of political crises in the Islamic Republic of Iran. In this regard, using a qualitative research method and the analysis of authoritative domestic and international documents and texts, the formal and informal structures of crisis management in Iran have been analyzed. The findings indicate that Iran’s unique political structure, the distribution of power among parallel institutions, and certain ideological and political contradictions constitute the most influential factors contributing to the complexity of crisis management. Moreover, the role of media and social networks has been critical in accelerating or controlling crises. Deficiencies in transparency, the lack of broad public participation in decision-making, and legal constraints are fundamental obstacles to the effective management of political crises in Iran. At the same time, successful experiences—such as the management of certain domestic protests and the containment of external pressures—demonstrate that improved institutional interaction, the strengthening of civil structures, and the leadership’s capacity to mobilize the public can reduce the severity of crises.</p> https://journalisslp.com/index.php/isslp/article/download/427/773
