Abstract :
The present study was conducted with the aim of influencing the US-Saudi political-military relationship on the security order in the Middle East. In this research, the method and tool of data analysis is descriptive-analytical. The Middle East is important in terms of political geography, strategic geography and economic geography, and the existence of such components has made the Middle East order and security always on the US agenda in the post-World War II era. Saudi-US relations will have a major impact on the security order in the region. With the power vacuum and the expansion of the anarchic situation in the Middle East, each of the influential actors in the region, including Iran and Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Israel, are developing their military capabilities. Turkey has already sought to increase its political and economic position in the Persian Gulf, South Asia, the Middle East, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Central Asia and the Caucasus. The new US-Saudi alliance was formed between 2017 and 2020 with the aim of establishing a new order in the Middle East.
