The region, later gained independence and called Azerbaijan, has always been challenging for Iran and now, also, is especially important due to the geopolitical differences and similarities. On the other hand, according to the world-system theory, all geographic locations are considered as a single system and any changes in one component of a system will lead to changes in other places. The transition from geopolitics to geo-economic approach caused that the existence and the ways of exploitation of natural resources influence the convergence and divergence of two or more countries and consequently become an influential factor in geopolitics. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to explain the impact of natural factors on geopolitical border zone between Iran and Azerbaijan. So, using the descriptive-analytic method and library studies and documents, an attempt has been made to identify the environmental factors that influence the political geography of the region and then analyze the issue using inductive and deductive methods. In this regard, it is assumed that the distribution of natural factors in the studied area would seek the exploitation based on partnership and cooperation between Iran and Azerbaijan and in this respect it can be an influential factor in geopolitical border zone between Iran and Azerbaijan. The research findings also suggest that both the Islamic Republic of Iran and Azerbaijan have mutual requirements in the studied region with respect to the dispersion and distribution of natural elements (mountains, rivers, forests, plains and plains); these requirements can be provided and resolved from across the borders and thus lead to cooperation between the two countries
