The Transformation of the US Control System against the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Security Order Network of West Asia (مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)

چکیده

The control of regional threats has consistently been a crucial aspect of the United States' strategies in various regions. With the adoption of anti-hegemonic policies by the Islamic Republic of Iran in West Asia, the US's regional threat control strategy has been specifically designed and implemented against it. The strategy to contain Iran has undergone a fundamental transformation in response to shifts in the security landscape of West Asia. Understanding this alteration is essential for obtaining a more accurate understanding of the US’s containment strategy, which facilitates the development of more effective countermeasures and neutralization tactics. The central research question of this study is: How has the US control system against the Islamic Republic of Iran evolved, and what are its underlying causes? In addressing this question, the following hypothesis is proposed: The US control system against Iran has shifted from a straightforward, linear, resource-oriented framework to a complex, multi-layered network control system. This change is deeply rooted in the transition of the regional order from a simple structure to one that is increasingly complex and chaotic. The research methodology employed in this article is deductive, with resources and information being gathered through document-based and library research.
