  7. Abstract:
  8. In this project Iran and Iraq energy relation is investigate. Considering the Importance and the capacity of Iran and Iraq in world and Middle East energy and the geopolitics of these two countries, a good economic relationship between them, especially in energy domain, can highly improve their sustainable relations. In this research the Agent Based Modeling is used for studying Iran and Iraq relationship. In Agent Based Modeling the overall system behavior is made up of individual agents’ behavior. In this modeling, the agents decide based on their own behavioral rules and also their status. In this study Iran and Iraq are modelled as two agents. The state of the two countries in energy, behavioral rules and decision making is studied. Considering the state of the two countries and also their behavioral rules, their choices of interaction in different energy related fields are investigated. The acceptable and sustainable choices are those, which guarantee Iran’s and Iraq’s profit. In this research three areas are investigated, independently, and these results are obtained in each area: Oil: the only reasonable choice in this area is extending the joint oilfields, and the choices of transferring or swapping oil are unacceptable.Refinery: Iran can export light oil products, such as gasoline and gas oil to Iraq. Electricity and gas: In short term Iran can provide the required gas for triggering the power plants in Iraq, furthermore, Iran can export electricity to this country. In long terms, the relationship between two countries highly depends on Iraq’s security state
