Trend of security issues in Iran’s western borders, including Kermanshah province shows some threats and problems caused by borders’ intrinsic attributes. The present study seeks to present an appropriate study of the geographic-political situation of the province’s borders, help to manage present threats and opportunities by a more comprehensive understanding of borders features and facilities, and suggests appropriate solutions to face and neutralize these threats. The study affects our understanding of the province’s borders, helps in gaining a strategic position for the province, and influence Iran-Iraq relations. We hope that this research opens an appropriate and effective way to develop borders and increase our knowledge of Kermanshah province from a geopolitical standpoint (which has not been addressed comprehensively).

Regarding the level of technological development industrial and postindustrial countries have reached, it is hard to believe that once in this planet human beings could not even satisfy their basic needs, such as building a safe shelter. In the third millennium, access to information has resulted in the development of technology and has changed human life to a large degree. Nowadays, international power is a consequence of countries capabilities in exploiting their geographical environments; the way countries exploit their geopolitical situation creates an opportunity to appear powerfully in international realms. Superior technology is an important factor in securing countries against attacks or threatening other countries in preemptive wars. Superpowers such as USA possesses technologies and developed systems such as HARP. HARP is a research project apparently used for investigating and exploring ionosphere layer and underground mines (using ELF/ULF/VLF radio waves). But in reality, “a project with star war technology” has been launched to complete building a new weapon.
The present article takes advantage of a descriptive-analytic method and investigates HARP system using library and internet resources. This article aims to explore HARP system as a superior technology United States of America possesses and can use as a destructive or constructive weapon. Results indicate that the system has not been used for constructive purposes.
