This study aims to provide an integrated model to explain the role of the Iran Commodity Exchange (IME) in organizing foreign trade, emphasizing Free and Special Economic Zones. The research employed a sequential exploratory mixed-methods approach (qualitative-quantitative). In the qualitative phase, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 key stakeholder experts (managers from the Commodity Exchange, foreign trade sectors, and Free Zones) and analyzed using thematic analysis. In the quantitative phase, data were gathered using a researcher-made questionnaire developed from the qualitative findings and analyzed by integrating Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The final model was designed and validated across five dimensions and twelve components. AHP results indicated that the components of "information transparency" (weight: 0.49) and "infrastructure development" (weight: 0.23) held the highest priority. The analyses revealed that the Commodity Exchange's role in this model is primarily played by creating a platform for integrating and facilitating the realization of these key requirements. The results indicate that strengthening the Commodity Exchange's role in organizing foreign trade through intelligent coordination with Free Zones requires an immediate focus on enhancing information transparency and developing integrated infrastructure. The success of this model depends on addressing institutional challenges (legal, customs-related, inter-organizational coordination) and redefining the role of the Exchange's export trading ring as a facilitating platform
