Mahnaz Sadat Elhami [1]Mohammad Reza Dehshiri [2]Mohammad Reza Ghaedi [3] Abstract:The Middle East is one of the most strategic regions in the world and has a very sensitive place in US foreign and strategic policy. The existence of oil and the security of Israel, which is a strategic ally of the United States in the region, has led the United States to intervene fundamentally in the region. During the Obama administration like all previous presidents, the United States considered itself responsible for securing Israel. Based on the theory of chaos, this article seeks to examine the role of US supportive policy in the Obama administration toward Israel. What was US supportive policy toward Israel in the Middle East during Obama's presidency?It seems that the US strategy is to maintain and strengthen the qualitative and quantitative military-economic-political superiority of Israel through securitization of the region.[1] -PhD Student in International Relations, South Tehran - Kish International Branch, Islamic Azad University, Kish, Iran[2] - Associate Professor and Faculty Member, Department of International Relations, Faculty and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tehran, Iran: Corresponding author[3]- Assistant Professor, Department of International Relations, Shiraz Branch, Islamic Azad University
