Abstract
One of the components that is considered in the study of foreign policy of governments in the face of other governments and the international community is the government's approach to the ruling system of the world. Depending on whether they agree or disagree with the ruling system of the international community, approaches are divided into deconstructive or preserving the status quo. In the preserving the status quo approach, which is based on consistency, there is no discussion of an alternative approach, but in the deconstructive approach, given the government's negative approach to the status quo, it is necessary to provide an alternative approach. Ahmadinejad's government's approach to the ruling international system was a destructive approach and he described the system as unjust. In such an approach, in addition to explaining the government's attitude, it should be examined whether, in addition to not accepting the policy governing the world system, the Ahmadinejad government has presented a plan to get rid of the situation ruling the international system? In response, it can be stated that the Ahmadinejad government's approach to the international community and the ruling system is a deconstructive approach to the world status quo, but failed to provide an alternative solution.
