Iran’s Geopolitical Strategy in the Shadow of US-Israel Relations

Abstract

Iran is among the most strategically major economies in West Asia. Iran is strategically important due to its geographic location. The Persian Gulf, which is near the Indian Ocean region, is to the south, and Central Asia is to the north. Thus, Iran serves as a geographical "corridor" connecting South Asia, Africa, and Europe, to   Asia .Some argue that the emphasis placed on domestic politics in the US or Iran as the main factor shaping of this relationship is insufficient. The structural circumstances in the Middle East and the larger international system, which led to the conflict between the fundamental national interests of these two administrations, are equally responsible for this relationship. In order to determine the significance of the relationship in bilateral, regional, and global contexts, this essay examines the relationship between these two nations from a wider angle. In light of expanding connections between the United States and Israel as well as realignments in regional security, this study looks at Iran's changing geopolitical strategy. It contends that Iran's strategy is characterized by a hybrid doctrine that combines strategic alliances, proxy warfare, and deterrence in an effort to offset Washington and Tel Aviv's combined military and intelligence cooperation. Iran is moving toward a more assertive but risk-managed strategy focused on energy confrontation, alternate capacities, and selective diplomatic participation as a result of recent escalations, such as U.S. attacks on Iranian atomic structures and higher Israeli pressure on Tehran's regional allies. In order to lessen its isolation from the rest of the world and fortify its defense system, Iran is simultaneously strengthening its connections with major nations like China and Russia. The results imply that Iran's approach is a long-term endeavor rather than just a reactive oneIn order to determine the significance of the relationship in bilateral, regional, and global contexts, this article examines the relationship between these two nations from a wider angle. The first of the article's four sections discusses the history of Iran-Israel relations and the causes of their animosity. A synopsis of how Tehran and Tel Aviv have developed a direct rivalry as a result of the regional power dynamics is given in the second section
