Insisting on independently providing energy due to fossil fuel availability and Economic-political purposes has imposed financial-environmental risks on countries. Inefficient obsolete infrastructures and technologies have caused devastating losses causing technical vulnerabilities in the energy sector. Ungainful increasing consumption of water resources has superimposed severe environmental degradation, threatening long-term energy planning. Successively, the energy security debate has turned into a challenging necessity for countries. This study developed a classic approach based on Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) and Capital Allocation Line (CAL) reinforced with aggregated evaluative measures to deal with the financial-environmental complexities of national energy portfolios. Results prove that countries are not even aware of the risky hidden brittleness of their energy portfolio. Futuristic policymaking should be adapted to gradually change the national energy structure from fossil fuel dependency to portfolio thinking to avoid risks and achieve more security.

As the world’s seventeenth-largest economy and a significant exporter of fossil fuels, the choice of future energy paths and policies that Iran will pursue over the next three decades will have a considerable impact on global energy security as a whole. Especially the eastern region. This article describes the current situation and recent trends in Iran’s energy sector, including demand and supply-side fuel sector. This paper discusses the state of current energy policy in Iran, focusing on changing the situation, developing and deploying renewable energy, liberalizing energy markets, and developing Iran’s energy sector. In the final part of the article, discussed Iran Long Range Alternative Energy Planning Software System dataset, several alternative energy paths for Iran’s energy demand side, emphasize alternative pathways to diversify energy and power. The expansion of GHG emissions and emissions reductions and the Iranian economy’s oil dependence is less - and address Iran’s current energy policy issues, as reflected in inputs and modeling results.
