Abstract Idealism and realism are two famous schools of thought in international relations and diplomacy. Considering the importance of diplomacy, securing national interests and establishing security along with Islamic and revolutionary interests, the question that arises is about the approach that is on the agenda of the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran with emphasis on the view of the supreme leader. The research method is descriptive-analytical. The main goal of this research is to present a comprehensive and complete view of diplomacy in the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, taking into account the two important schools of idealism and realism. The important findings of this article show that, based on the examination of other characteristics of schools of idealism and realism, the foreign policy and diplomacy of the Islamic Republic of Iran is not completely compatible with the mentioned schools. Therefore, explaining the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran requires a unique model which we try to achieve through realistic and revolutionary idealism.
