West Asia is one of the geopolitical regions that has enough resources such as energy resources, special strategic position, ethnic, racial and religious diversity. The geo-economic approaches of the beginning of the 21st century, which came as a new approach in strategic issues and were used for competition between powers, turned West Asia into one of the geo-strategic and geo-economic regions, hence it has established a scene for geo-strategic and geo-energy conflicts and competitions. This research has object to analyze the foreign policy of China and Russia during the last two decades in various political, economic, diplomatic fields and its impact on Iran and other West Asian countries. The methodology in this study is descriptive-analytical one. gathering and getting of the primary data of the research has been done by using library methods. The main hypothesis of the research is that Russia and China are trying to gain national interests and increase their influences through a stronger presence in West Asia than in the past, and pay very little attention to the enhancing of Iran's geopolitical weight. The results of the research show that the foreign policy of China and Russia regarding important events in West Asia in the last two decades (especially the JCPOA, the US withdrawal from the JCPOA, the Syrian crisis, etc.) has threatened the national security of our country. The difference in the foreign policy of China and Russia has challenged the national interests of Iran and West Asia; Of course, the shared goal of China and Russia is to dominate natural resources and increase their sphere of influence, which can be called neo-colonialism.
