Abstract :
Khazarprovide Iran with an excellent geopolitical position, while Iran's "antdomination policy" not only deprive it from these privileges but alsobring some serious security challenges for it. U.S. engagement in vasteconomic, military and political undertakings in this region is one of majorthreat for Iran's vital interests. I'm going to argue here that majordifficulty in the way of consisting some firm regional security coalitions andorganizations, which in its turn relates to discrepancy in powers of nationstates of the region, entails calling non regional powers to the region. U.S.effort to isolate Islamic republic of Iran is one of consequences of non-regionalwestern power presence in the region.
