Dr. Alex Mustafa Peköz

Abstract

Military clashes and political contradictions which can currently be faced in the Middle East and will continue for a long time are reconfiguring power relations. In this respect, the most important determinative for the success of the strategy towards the Middle East hinges on the success of the global policies towards the Iran. Iran, which is aware of its own geostrategic position, is increasing its activities in the region through the relations developed with Russia and China and, in a sense, applying balance policy successfully. Iran is an active side of Syrian civil war. Thousands of revolutionary guards are fighting against opponents together with Syrian army. Being in the same position of Iran and Egypt regarding the policies being followed towards Syria gives us a more concrete idea with respect to main future alliances. A set of changes will be applied in order to restore its economy and accelerate flow of global capital to this country. Turkey who had played intercessor role in negotiations with Iran came to the forefront relatively. Thus, development of USA-UK-Iran relations that have considered each other as „enemies‟ for years much more rapidly than estimated is replacement of „Sunni Islam‟ policy which have been tried regarding mapped out geopolitical strategy of the year of 2020 but not become successful so far with „Shia Islam‟ policy. It is planned to make this strategy to affect regional balances comprehensively actual by positioning Iran at the heart.

Key words: Iran, Iran‟s geopolitical power, Middle East, War
