The hypothesis of the article is that Islamic revolution of Iran (in structural terms) has influenced the political structure, distribution of power and players of international relations and has challenged bipolar system. It has made new governmental players (third world) as well as non-governmental players (movements and nations) emerge and grow in power in international arena. It has influenced (in practical terms) main issues of justice, peace and security. To explain the above hypothesis, the current research first explains the concepts then studies impacts of Islamic revolution of Iran on the structure of international system then moves on to investigate reactions of other countries toward measures taken by Islamic revolution of Iran.
