چکیده مقاله

Tarikh Jahangushay is written by Alaeddin Ata Malik Mohammad Juvayni (681-623AD), an Iranian historian and writer. This book, known as Tarikh Jahangushay Juvayni, is one of the reference and classic books in the field of Iranian history after Islam and especially during the Mongol era. This book deals with the Mongol attack on Iran in detail. This book has been studied and researched a lot from a linguistic and literary viewpoint. However, it has neglected the examination of Juvayni’s reports about the Mongol attack on Iran from a non-literary and linguistic viewpoint. In this study, we decided to investigate the story of the Mongol attack on Iran based on Juveyni's reports based on a new theory of war. The primary problem of this study, conducted using a descriptive-analytical method, is the reasons for the defeat of the Iranians against the Mongols. As we know, the Anushtegin (Khwarazmian) dynasty, which was in charge of affairs in Iran at that time, was a powerful kingdom that was even considered a serious competitor for the Caliphate of Baghdad. However, the Mongols were desert-wandering people at that time. The question that can be raised in this regard is what was the cause of the defeat of the Iranians against the Mongols? And is it possible to analyze and explain this failure by relying on the new perspectives of war? The importance of this study is that it deals with an ancient and historical text from the viewpoint of a new thinker named Clausewitz (1831-1780) and considers his view as a model for examining the causes of the defeat of the Iranians against the Mongols.
