During the past twenty years, the position and strength of the resistance forces in the western part of Asia has been demonstrably increased. Of course, this important event had several reasons, among which, the role of the command of Sardar Hajj Qassem Soleimani in its realization, even after his martyrdom, seems to be stronger than other factors. Therefore, the main purpose of this thesis is to investigate the political and military developments of the resistance axis (Hamas, Lebanese Hezbollah, Hashd al-Shaabi) before and after the martyrdom of General Qassem Soleimani and analyze the future of the resistance axis. In this regard, the main question of the current research is, "What changes did the axis of resistance in the political and military fields, before and after the martyrdom of General Qassem Soleimani, and what will be the future of the axis of resistance?" The research method in this research was descriptive-analytical and in the form of a theory test approach with the case using the future research approach (scenario writing). After eva‎luating the socio-political texts and detailed resources available in this field, the results of the research showed that during the 22-year command of Martyr Soleimani in the Quds Force, the resistance groups in the Middle East region increased tremendously. In such a way that today, in addition to Lebanon and Palestine, these groups are also established in the countries of Syria, Iraq and Yemen. Even in Yemen, Ansarullah formed a government in Sana'a. In Palestine, the new generation of resistance has expanded its resistance operations into the occupied territories, and in current Iraq, several groups want the expulsion of American soldiers from this country, which has widened the geopolitics of the resistance. Another important point that can be understood after the martyrdom of Sardar Soleimani is the integrity and network functioning of these groups. Explaining that Lebanon's Hezbollah played a constructive role in the Syrian crisis and the war with terrorists, in addition, Hezbollah in the recent Gaza war on the northern front and the Yemenis also made a practical response to defend Gaza with missile attacks on Israeli ships. This issue is also true for Iraqi resistance groups. Another important point that can be understood before and after the martyrdom of Sardar Soleimani is the people base of the resistance groups. In other words, one of the main sources of power of the resistance until today is having popular support. In fact, Sardar Soleimani had a special ability to network local and indigenous forces with his management and command characteristics. Finally, this research was concluded with the future research approach and the explanation of probable, possible and desirable (preferable) scenarios that were envisioned for the future of these axes. These scenarios are: a) Desirable scenarios: 1-Hamas regaining power and control over the Gaza strip 2-Organizing the axis of resistance in Iraq and Palestine and getting closer to the type of organization of Lebanon's Hezbollah b) Possible scenarios: 1-Erosion of the motivation of some from the forces of the resistance axis and especially Hamas 2- The continuous increase in the strength and dominance of Lebanon's Hezbollah in the south and the decrease in the power of the Zionist regime c) Possible scenarios: 1- The reduction of Iran's arms and economic aid in connection with the resistance axis 2- The rise of the resistance forces in some of Neighboring countries and increasing political and military power and influence of Iran and the general conclusion of this thesis is that the achievements of Sardar Soleimani did not stop after his martyrdom and also these achievements have been used and continue.
