Book excerpt: When it comes to Iran, attention has rightly been focused on efforts to stop its nuclear program. Iran's nuclear program is just the tip of the revolutionary sphere that extends across the world and threatens key U.S. interests. Iran's foreign policy is subversive, sectarian, and set on goals that would come at the expense of U.S. interests. Indeed, with Iran's long support of terrorist groups and support of militias and adversarial regimes, the region has been feeling the brunt of this revolutionary sphere for quite some time. Thanks to Iran, Hamas has rearmed since 2012. With Iran's aid, Shi'a militias within Iran are rearming and they are mobilizing. The Assad regime, with the Iranian forces-with Quds Forces and with Hezbollah-continues to massacre Syrians. With Iran's aid, Hezbollah is able to threaten Israel with over 25,000 rockets. These aren't random efforts to support terrorism by the Iranian regime but concerted actions by this ayatollah-led-and he is the key decision maker-this Shi'a-led government to overturn what Iran believes is a regional power structure that favors the United States, that favors Israel and their collaborators, by which they mean the Sunni Muslim governments in the Gulf.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an analysis grounded in the observation that although Iranian power projection is marked by strengths, it also has serious liabilities and limitations, this report surveys the nature of both in four critical areas and offers a new U.S. policy paradigm that seeks to manage the challenges Iran presents through the exploitation of regional barriers to its power and sources of caution in the regime?s strategic calculus.
Book Synopsis How Iran Plans to Fight America and Dominate the Middle East by : Gabriel G. Tabarani
Download or read book How Iran Plans to Fight America and Dominate the Middle East written by Gabriel G. Tabarani and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the creeping possibility of a nuclear breakout, its vigorous sponsorship of international non-state armed groups and its escalating intervention next door in Iraq, Lebanon and the Palestinian Territories; the Islamic Republic of Iran is a triple threat - at least - to international security and America and Western's Middle Eastern interests. Indeed, perhaps no country, according to the West, fits the definition of rogue state as well as Iran does. Making matters worse, Iran's confidence and clout in the region - and beyond - are indubitably on the rise. But that is only the beginning. Shiite Persian Iran is not content with being just an inconsequential pariah. Iran has grand ambitions. Tehran wants to be the predominant state in the Middle East, replacing the United States as the region's power broker and lording over its Sunni Arab neighbours. With the fall of its most fearsome competitors for regional pre-eminence - Iraq's Saddam Hussein and Afghanistan's Taliban - Iran is unabashedly reasserting itself on the international stage. Buoyed by high energy prices, emboldened by continuing American challenges in Iraq and Afghanistan, encouraged by consistent, unimpeded progress in its nuclear program and the increased influence of its extremist allies - Hamas and Hizbollah - Iran has its eye on becoming the regional hegemony. So the question here: How Iran plans to fight America, Israel and the West and dominate the Middle East? Gabriel G. Tabarani, who is an Expert on Middle East Affairs, will try to give the answer on this question in this book through a fair and balanced information, analysis, arguments, examination, and recommendations which will clear every point concerning the Iranian ambitions and the USA strategy to confront them.

Book Synopsis Iran’s Networks of Influence in the Middle East by : The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS)
Download or read book Iran’s Networks of Influence in the Middle East written by The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tehran’s ability to fight by, with and through third parties in foreign jurisdictions has become a valuable and effective sovereign capability that gives Iran strategic advantage in the region. Tehran has possessed a form of this capability since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, but its potency and significance have risen sharply in the past decade, to the point where it has brought Iran more regional influence and status than either its nuclear or ballistic-missile programmes. The IISS Strategic Dossier Iran’s Networks of Influence provides an understanding of how Iran builds, operates and uses this capability. Based on original field research, open-source information and interviews with a range of sources, the dossier conducts an audit of Iran’s activities in the principal regional theatres of Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen, and its reach into Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. It includes an examination of Tehran’s nurturing of groups such as the Houthis in Yemen, the Badr Organisation in Iraq, Hizbullah in Lebanon and Shia militias in Syria, and details related to recruitment, weapons supply, logistics and command-and-control systems. Iran’s Networks of Influence is intended through objective, fact-based analysis to inform both policymakers and practitioners, and to stimulate debate on the wider significance of Iran’s use of third-party partners and the strategic depth they afford Tehran. The dossier also examines the advantages that Iran possesses through its recent experience of conflict, and its ability to mobilise and deploy sympathetic Shia communities across theatres. In a time of rising tension in the region, the dossier looks at how Iran might further develop the use of its partnership capability and the risks and constraints it might face.
Book Synopsis US Foreign Policy Towards the Middle East by : Bernd Kaussler
Download or read book US Foreign Policy Towards the Middle East written by Bernd Kaussler and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a realist critique of US foreign policy towards the Middle East in the past decade. It critically examines four core foundations of contemporary US Middle East policy: US relations with Saudi Arabia after the Arab Spring; US diplomacy towards Iran and the Obama administration’s policy of engagement; the road to, and aftermath of, the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq; and US policy towards nuclear-armed Israel. Because of a closely guarded bipartisan consensus, these four core foundations of contemporary US Middle East policy have largely evaded public criticism and scrutiny. This book argues that US strategy towards the Middle East has rarely been guided by order, stability and the national interest. Rather, successive administrations have created a house of cards built on a series of deceptions and constructed perceptions or myths. Combined, these four aspects of US Middle East policy have ushered in a decade of political violence, instability, sectarian divisions and an imbalance of power which has culminated in the territorial disintegration of Iraq and countries in the Levant as well as the rise of ISIS. Moving forward requires a rational pursuit of the national interest based on realist principles. This book will be of much interest to students of US foreign policy, Middle Eastern politics, security studies and IR in general.
Book Synopsis Turkish-Iranian Relations in a Changing Middle East by : F. Stephen Larrabee
Download or read book Turkish-Iranian Relations in a Changing Middle East written by F. Stephen Larrabee and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2013-08-26 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turkey and Iran tend to be rivals rather than close partners, despite sharing certain economic and security interests. For instance, Turkey supports the opposition in Syria, while Iran supports the regime. Turkey is further concerned about a possible nuclear arms race in the Middle East. U.S. and Turkish interests in the region closely overlap, but the United States should not expect Turkey to follow its policy toward Iran unconditionally.
Book Synopsis Iranian Backed Militias by : Nonproliferat Subcommittee on Terrorism
Download or read book Iranian Backed Militias written by Nonproliferat Subcommittee on Terrorism and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-17 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle East continues to pose some of the biggest challenges to United States national security. Where there is a threat to our interests in the region we can be sure that Iran and its proxy forces and militias are somewhere in the neighborhood. From Yemen to Afghanistan, Iranian arms can be found in the hands of some of the most dangerous actors. This is part of a calculated strategy by the mullahs in Tehran to assert control over the entire region by expelling the United States. The Iranians believe they are entitled to dominance over anybody else in the region. They provide weapons and support to sectarian individuals who commit atrocities and undermine legitimate government institutions. In Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, Bahrain, and the Palestinian territories, Iran backs violent actors who either rule through brutality or aspire to seize power by eliminating political opposition. Hezbollah in Lebanon is the most prominent one. Now Iran has multiple "Hezbollahs" it can call on to kill and coerce throughout the region. Funded by sanctions relief granted to Iran under the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] and enabled by America's retreat over the past 8 years, Iranian-backed groups are seizing territory, cajoling governments, and hindering our effort to defeat ISIS and al-Qaeda.
Book Synopsis Syria and Iran by : Jubin M. Goodarzi
Download or read book Syria and Iran written by Jubin M. Goodarzi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-04-30 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enduring alliance between Iran and Syria which came about after Iran's 1979 Revolution proved to be a feature of the Middle East's political landscape in the 20th and early 21st centuries. Moreover, its impact in moulding events and bringing about major changes in this troubled region proved enormously significant. Jubin M. Goodarzi provides us with the first in-depth study on the Syrian-Iranian nexus which traces the origins and development of the strategic partnership between Damascus and Tehran from 1979 until the present. He argues that contrary to prevailing views (due in large part to the authoritarian and unpopular nature of the Syrian and Iranian regimes), the alliance between them was conceived as essentially defensive in nature. He puts forth an empirical survey with a chronology of events, and analyses the key phases in the evolution of the alliance. In the process he explains their significance, both in terms of how they affected bilateral relations between the two states and their regional implications. Through careful research and analysis, Goodarzi reveals linkages between major events in the Middle East and crucial decisions that were made in Tehran and Damascus; particularly ones that have been overlooked or ignored by regional analysts and scholars. These include the impact of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and the subsequent Syrian-Iranian consultations on Iran's position regarding the war with Iraq; the effects of US-Iraqi actions in the Persian Gulf in 1988 and Iran's moves in Lebanon against the wishes of Syria. Goodarzi analyses the stability and security of this partnership and assesses its prospects for the future.
Book Synopsis Saudi Arabia and Iran by : Simon Mabon
Download or read book Saudi Arabia and Iran written by Simon Mabon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-21 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the 1979 Iranian revolution, relations between states in the Middle East were reconfigured and reassessed overnight. Amongst the most-affected was the relationship between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The existence of a new regime in Tehran led to increasingly vitriolic confrontations between these two states, often manifesting themselves in the conflicts across the region, such as those in Lebanon and Iraq, and more recently in Bahrain and Syria. In order to shed light upon this rivalry, Simon Mabon examines the different identity groups within Saudi Arabia and Iran (made up of various religions, ethnicities and tribal groupings), proposing that internal insecurity has an enormous impact on the wider ideological and geopolitical competition between the two. With analysis of this heated and often uneasy relationship and its impact on the wider Middle East, this book is vital for those researching international relations and diplomacy in the region.
Book Synopsis The Arab World and Iran by : Amin Saikal
Download or read book The Arab World and Iran written by Amin Saikal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-20 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on interpreting the changing domestic and regional dynamics in the Arab world and Iran. Its chapters discuss an array of countries, events, actors, and issues - from an examination of the Arab Spring and the Tunisian democratic transition, to an exploration of the role of Saudi-Iranian geostrategic rivalry, to the impact of ethnic and sectarian politics in Syria, Iraq, and across the region. Chapters from expert contributors are organized into three parts. The first section of the volume covers the aspects and dynamics of change in the Arab world. The second examines the role of Islam, Islamism, Islamic governance, and sectarian and ethnic politics in the region. The third section focuses on Iranian domestic and regional politics. Yet the theme of transition is constant throughout as this multidisciplinary book draws connections across countries and events to not only inform about the prevailing regional situation, but also to invite readers to draw their own conclusions as to the future of the Middle East. Collectively the volume provides a fresh interpretation of the changing dynamics of the Arab world and Iran, unpacking the complexities of the disputes, conflicts, rivalries, failed goals, and processes of change and development that have made the Muslim Middle East so turbulent, directionless, and perpetually contested by both regional and international actors.

Book Synopsis Maneuvering the Saudi-Iranian Rivalry in the Middle East by : Gregory Aftandilian
Download or read book Maneuvering the Saudi-Iranian Rivalry in the Middle East written by Gregory Aftandilian and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-23 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iranian-Saudi tensions are at their worst level in decades. Not only are diplomatic relations broken, but also the two countries are involved in several proxy wars in the region. The United States has sided with Saudi Arabia in these disputes largely because of longstanding strategic ties to Riyadh and because it sees Iran as a regional threat and a destabilizing force in the area. However, pursuing a one-sided policy in this rivalry carries long-term risks for Washington, because the close embrace of Saudi Arabia's problematic external and internal policies, such as the war in Yemen, denigration of Shia doctrines, and human rights problems, may have an ill effect against the United States. The one-sided policy can also alienate the younger generation of Iranians who want better relations with the United States and are Iran's future. Hence, this monograph argues that U.S. policymakers should maneuver with more dexterity through the Iranian-Saudi rivalry, avoid entanglements in the Sunni-Shia sectarian conflict, and keep their eye on long-term U.S. interests, which involve bringing about stability in the region.The monograph recommends that U.S. policymakers should devote sufficient time and resources to end the proxy wars in the region, as a first step toward easing Saudi-Iranian tensions. It also recommends the facilitation of dialogue between Saudi Arabia and Iran to air grievances, and come to some common ground such as non-interference in each other's internal affairs. Although the current environment may not seem conducive to such a dialogue, it should be remembered that relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia were not always acrimonious, and the two countries have cooperated in the past. To assuage Saudi concerns that such a policy might be perceived as a U.S. tilt toward Iran, the monograph recommends more joint military exercises between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia militaries as well as the deployment of U.S. Army's Stability Force Assistance Brigades (SFAB) to the Saudi kingdom for training and defensive purposes.
