The implications of Iranian alliances on regional security in the Middle

Abstract

Through this study, we seek to shed light on Iranian regional and international alliances in the post-”Arab movement”, to get to know its allies, objectives and the reactions to its alliances, as well as to reveal their implications for regional security in the Middle East region. By relying on the methodological side on the approaches of geostrategic and geopolitical analysis, in addition of the two descriptive and comparative classical approaches. The most important results reached are that alliances are one of the most prominent Iranian foreign policy tools to maximize its role and position in the Middle East. And the Iranian regional alliances are an organized and interconnected sectarian network within the borders of Arab countries, which negatively affects the national security of those. In order to confront the Iranian alliances, counter-alliances were formed, which sparked wars by proxy; this is what deepens the region's crises and the security dilemma in it
