| Abstract | ||
| The US strategy toward Iraq after the 2003 is as a compatible aspect with its overall strategy for the Middle East in general. As it considers the region, particularly Iraq, as a fundamental and influential pivot in the conditions of the Middle East and its surrounding aspects of geo-strategy. United States is considering the Middle East according to three principal facts as follows: - Ensuring the oil , - maintaining the continuity of moderate regimes keeping American interests and - ensuring the security of Israel, these facts can explain most of United States behaviors towards the Middle East. However, this does not negate the possibility of change in US strategy because of the mobility of the international environment required adaptation and dealing with the developments on the regional and global levels. For example, what happened in the region called the Arab Spring revolutions toppling systems were classified as moderate, such as Egypt and Tunisia. Iraq occupation as one of the strategic objectives for the United States was a transitory target in a greater scheme drawn by the conservative right-wing forces aiming at redrafting the Greater Middle East to make Israel as an active and master actor. | ||
