The Islamic Republic of Iran's discourse in foreign policy and in relation to the North African region has experienced different trends in the periods of sacred defense, construction, reforms, kindness, planning and hope, according to the prevailing conditions in the country. Iran has always tried to adopt appropriate policies towards North Africa and the countries of this region, especially Libya. The North African region, due to its rich energy resources and geopolitical and geostrategic position, has always witnessed the open and hidden interference of regional and extra-regional powers throughout history, on the other hand, Iran is also a regional power that has common ideological grounds. With the countries of the North African region, it is trying to play a role as an active activist in this region. The present study tries to explain the position of North Africa in the geopolitical discourses of the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran by using the discourse analysis approach to explain the geopolitical discourses of the mentioned periods by using the discourse analysis method, which is a descriptive and analytical method, and how the geopolitical discourses of different eras are formed using conceptual models, and then suggests a foreign policy that is compatible with the geopolitical discourse in order to achieve maximum national interests for Iran's future relations with Libya.

A critical view of political geography critiques the spatial discourse theories of power for liberation. In the last two centuries, the philosophical view of domination of nature has determined the way of exploiting nature and, consequently, the exploitation of other human beings. By subjugating humans life, the biopolitical discourse of governments can create the conditions for a situation called "Camps" and "Homo-Sacers." Although these two words have not been seen in environmental research in today's world, in Giorgio Agamben's point of view, as long as the living conditions of any society have similarities to his conception of the concept of Homo-Sacer and Camps, these words can be used to describe the region. The main question of this research is whether it is possible to generalize Agamben's theoretical view of the emerging of naked life in today's world, in a specific geographical environment, under the influence of the political-environmental discourses of the government? The research method in this research is descriptive-analytical and this article used and analyzed library information about Agamben's theories and political geographers influenced by him in the fields of "Biopolitics", Camps, "Naked Life" and Homo-Sacer. In the findings of this study, how to reproduce geographical spaces under the influence of spatial discourses of power in the natural environment by defining the terms Environmental Camp and Environmental Homo-Sacer is shown.
