Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the consequences of regional security polarization in the Middle East. The hypothesis is that the polarization of regional security has led to the emergence and spread of geopolitical chaos in the Middle East. The research method is qualitative and we have used Buzan's identity structure approach. The results show that the United States is pursuing the necessary conditions for regional destabilization and the continuation of the chaos and destabilization process. In such circumstances, Iran's approach should be to manage the turbulent atmosphere and crisis management through mechanisms focused on diplomacy and empowerment. The United States has used a "cluster coalition strategy" to manage regional security. The behavioral pattern of these actors in dealing with Iran is of an aggressive nature. In American strategic thinking, regional asymmetries are often conceivable from a technological point of view. In an asymmetric environment, the equation of power and architecture of the armed forces is different from the classical and symmetrical environment. Therefore, topics such as: "use of manpower", "weapons", "sources of power", "defense architecture", "security engineering", "command and management" in an asymmetry environment are completely different from the classical environment.
