Iranophobia: Formulating US Strategy for Fabricating Regional Legitimacy for Israel

Iranophobia is a strategic project that poses Iran as a major threat to the region as well as a threat to world peace and security, and is portrayed as an intrusive variable and a disruptive actor in the international system. This strategy has been pursued by the United States for many years and has been stated for a number of purposes, such as "marginalizing Iran, disrupting its regional and international interactions, and justifying forming a coalition to exert maximum pressure on Iran. The theory of threat balance, which refers to the collective reaction to the threat of a common enemy, has been considered in this study." This descriptive-analytical study, in particular, seeks to express the United States' intent to implement this strategy in the interests of its regional strategic ally, Israel, and to answer the question: " What is the United States' goal in pursuing this policy to serve Israel's interests?" We have responded that "The United States, by magnifying Iran's threat in the eyes of the regional countries and recognizing this threat to all regional actors, while establishing a comprehensive regional coalition against Iran, has made this common threat the basis for Israel's regional presence and legitimacy."
