The America macro-strategy towards Iran was based on effort to isolate Iran strategically in the region.This strategy has been manifested in support of Iraq by Washington in the imposed war, various sanctions against the Iran Islamic Republic and nuclear case.However,the events of11th September2001,as well as the domino effect of the Islamic Awakening in the Arab world in2011 have led to an increase in the US presence in the Middle East political-security equations and,as a result, to the US confrontation with the Islamic Republic of Iran.This article has tried to respond this question on analyzing America confrontational approach to the Islamic Republic from2001to2015.The findings showed that the events of11th September2001 and the Islamic Awakening of the Arab countries in2011-2015have become the hegemony and confrontation of these countries. In contrary, the Islamic Republic of Iran sought to establish a new regional order based on the discourse of resistance and the model of political Islam of the Islamic Revolution.America considers Iran as an anti-hegemonic challenge and as a result leading to increase of confrontation between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran in the region.The research method was descriptive-analytical and the data were collected by documentary method and internet resources.
