Obama's Regional Security Approach in Iran's Geopolitical Region

Author(s):
Abstract:
Building security is done when regional countries enjoy the necessary motivation for multilateral cooperation. Motivation is regarded a geopolitical necessity for regional cooperation among the countries located in the crisis-hit region. Iran's regional security region has specifications as such; next to Iran's security and geographic borders, various signs of danger and instability are witnessed. The expansion of geopolitical infiltration of the United States in the Middle East and the South-West Asia can be named as one of the main reasons for the emergence of such a situation. This is the main issue in the spread of the instability in a regional field. Thereby, a question can be put forward here which is ' how can provide security building process in a regional field'?. The condition is brought up under the circumstances that regional players and big powers stress the necessity of balance and regional stability. The article attempts to firstly, study geopolitical foundations of instability and insecurity in the South-West Asia. The study cannot be possible without considering terrorism-exporting waves and existential fundamentalism from Saudi Arabia to the South-West Asia. Secondly, Pakistan and Afghanistan are located in the shatter security belt area; a region that has witnessed coup d'états, military occupation, security interference, and the endless security challenges in the past four decades. And thirdly, new extremists are being formed in Pakistan and Afghanistan that are not subsets of Al-Qaeda and Taliban groups, but benefit from the violent models. Examples of such groups are "Hezb-al-Tahrir" (or al-Tahrir Party) and the "People's Publicity Party." The groups have been introduced as "Transitional Belt" by the US State Department; the groups that have emphasized the necessity of identity clashes and prepare the ground for their members to enter extremist groups such as the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. This indicates that not only geographical and identity environment in Afghanistan and Pakistan have the necessary requirements for absorbing faith forces into the extremist groups, but also the US military actions have led to the crisis intensifying and the social groups confronting the US security and military forces in Pakistan and Afghanistan, as well.
