By planning to normalize relations with the Arab countries of the region in the form of the Abraham Peace Treaty, the Zionist regime is trying to put pressure on its rival and enemy in the Middle East region, i.e. Iran (issue). The above research analyzes the effects of Israel's influence in the Middle East and its effect on Iran's axis of influence as the most important strategic competitor of this country (goal). It seems that Israel's attempt to normalize relations with the Arabs and expand its influence in the Middle East region (Iran's peripheral environment) is based on the balance of threats, prevention of regional influence and confrontation and reduction of Iran's strategic strength and depth in its national-regional environment. (Hypothesis). The current research is of a fundamental-applied type, with a qualitative-interpretive method and a descriptive-analytical approach and compiled in a library manner. Also, for the theoretical framework of this research, Stephen Walt's threat balance theory has been used (method, framework). Israel's strategic-security alignment with America and the Western-Arab alliance and Iran's identity-ideological conflicts with the existence of Israel, any increase in its presence in Iran's security environment in various ways such as political, military, economic security, cultural-social and technical and Technological is considered as a reduction of Iran's influence and influencing power, and it is naturally considered a threat to Iran's national-regional security in the area of influence (findings).
