Abstract :
The Babi and Baha'i movement, which was formed in Iran about two hundred years ago, has been established and continued to expand despite all the oppositions that have been faced with them. The main question that is raised in this regard is that many emerging movements and groups have been formed throughout history in Shia in Iran or other Shia-dominated areas, but because they were faced with widespread opposition, they disappeared. They left and there is no mention of them except in documents and books, but despite the many oppositions that Babism and Baha'ism faced, this current was established and continued to expand? What could be the factors of this stabilization? Have external factors played a role in this matter? What is the role of followers of other religions in this regard? This research, using the descriptive-analytical method, only tries to analyze the role of an external factor and the role-making of Jews in this regard. The result indicates that considering the situation of Iran in this period of time, it was not possible to stabilize and expand this movement without the intervention of external factors and the role-playing of some people inside. In order to maintain its political and economic goals, in order to disrupt the unity and harmony of Iranians, England tried to stabilize the Babism and Baha'i movement in Iran with the help of minorities such as Jews.
