Every society and government needs order and security to survive. Many institutions for order and security have been established in Iran throughout history, but the new system of internal order and security (police organization) in Iran has little history and dates back to nearly one hundred and fifty years. The establishment of this new system was one of the achievements of Nasser al-Din Shah's second visit to Europe and the arrival of Conte de Monte in Iran, which led to the establishment of order in a new style and context by him. In the present study, the role of Conte de Monte Forte in the creation of a new police system in Iran has been investigated. The research method is descriptive-analytical and based on documentary-library studies. The purpose of this study was to investigate Conte 's actions in establishing order in a new style in the Nasseri period. The findings show that despite appropriate measures such as organizing and administrative divisions of law enforcement forces, especially the publication of the Conte, which is the first codified police law in Iran, due to sabotage of courtiers, financial incapacity and weakness of law enforcement and lack of public conditions, Conte action was not successful. In general, it can be said that these measures have been able to bring new literature in the field of order and security in the country and he can be considered the founder of the new police in Iran.

This caused that when Reza Khan during the coup of 1920. He seized power, and the establishment of lasting security became the main demand of Iranian society and the first priority of his plans. Meanwhile, a group of politicians published various media to encourage and support Reza Shah to achieve this important goal. One of these press was Ayandeh Magazine, managed by Mahmoud Afshar. The present article seeks to answer the main question with a descriptive-analytical method: what approach has the discourse of Ayandeh Magazine to the issue of security? It seems that the editors of Ayandeh Magazine considered the creation and establishment of security as the basis and the main guarantor of any progress and modernization of Iran. The results of this study show that Ayandeh Magazine plays an important role in encouraging, supporting and operationalizing plans and strategies such as forming a powerful central government, suppressing tyrants and disruptors of internal security, protecting Iran's territorial integrity from external threats and creating judicial security, and implementing the policies and actions of the first Pahlavi government in order to establish security in Iranian society.

In this article, in a descriptive-analytical method, the phenomenon of packing in the Safavid period has been studied and the places and facilities that have been closed and examples of packing in them have been described. The findings of the study indicate that some religious buildings and institutions and some political and administrative facilities in this period were closed that played the security role of protecting the lives of the oppressed against the oppression of the government; however, this phenomenon did not spread as much in the Qajar period.

The findings of this study showed that the strategies of the first Pahlavi government in occupying Lorestan are divided into two categories according to the nature and reaction of the people to it. In order to achieve the final victory in these wars, the Pahlavi government, apart from direct confrontation, used policies and tactics such as: employing servants, espionage, providing false oaths, executing leaders, deporting nomads, disarming and civil works such as road construction and other measures.

Throughout history, human beings, depending on the time and place, have taken various measures and defense methods to protect themselves from natural and man-made disasters. Fortresses and military-defensive fortifications are a clear example of this. The form of these fortifications has evolved in accordance with the mental and intellectual development of human beings and in parallel with the development of offensive and defensive weapons. The present study seeks to investigate the factors that have influenced the location, formation and decline of castles and defensive fortifications of the border cities of East Azerbaijan (Julfa, Khodaafarin and Kalibar). The research method in this research is based on a theoretical approach in a descriptive-analytical format and the data are collected by documentary and field methods, then classified and analyzed by library studies in the framework of research questions and hypotheses. The research findings indicate that easy access to water resources and proximity to rivers and springs to supply water needed by castle dwellers and castle dwellers, appropriate height and nobility and mastery of the surrounding environment and easy access to the road. Transportation has had a significant effect on the location and formation of castles in the study area. In these castles, the topography and shape of the earth are used in the best possible way and their plan and pattern of expansion is formed organically. The castles of the study area, like the castles of other regions of Iran, have several functions, of which the military and border function is more prominent along the Aras River.
