Iranian-Gulf Relationships Study in the Security Dilemma

Abstract

Abstract: The Iranian-Gulf relations are considered one of the most complex types of relations among countries, and many historical and political effects or influences overlap in those relations. International factors play a significant role in influencing these relations and directing them to the destination that serves their interests and not the interests of the countries concerned, and any improvement in those Relationships is accompanied and coincided with a behavior of international powers towards disturbing those relations, especially by the United States of America, which sees in the Gulf region a region of influence of its own. Associated with this that the Gulf Arabic states even separately or by the Gulf Collaboration Council (GCC) are often consistent with the American vision in determining the shape and nature of their relations with Iran.The research consists of an introduction and two axes, which dealt in the first axis: Iranian-Gulf relations in nature and determinants, which deals with the nature of relations, and the determinants of Gulf-Iranian relations. As for the second axis, the security dilemma in the Gulf dealt with opposing visions, which includes first: the Iranian awareness of Gulf security, secondly: the Gulf vision of Gulf security, and third: the American vision of security in the Gulf. And then the conclusion of the search.
