In order to draw the circle of power of actors in the metropolis of Tehran, we need to identify geopolitical actors in this metropolis. In the metropolis of Tehran, actors have different identities and beings, and may be government institutions or organizations, individuals or public communities, non-governmental organizations or private companies. In this study, SPSS, Friedman test and t-test are used to describe and analyze the data. The present study is based on two main questions. 1. who are the actors present in Tehran and which of the actors has the greatest impact on power relations in the metropolis? 2. What is the role of each of the actors (local, national and transnational) on power relations in the metropolis of Tehran? The results show that the political capital of Iran (Tehran metropolis) is managed by many organizations and institutions and no single organization is in charge of final decision-making. This is because each of these organizations has held a part of urban spaces and resources of Tehran metropolis with its power and manages those resources for the purpose of making profit.
