Abstract
In addition to different effects on the countries’ domestic politics, developments of Islamic awakening have had deep effects on the international and regional security environments. Apart from these effects, the more important issue is world actors’ positions on these developments and the related countries; accordingly, the countries according to its national interests and foreign policy objectives have had different and sometimes contradictory orientations towards these developments. The evidence shows that Islamic awakening had considerable effects on political relations among countries including US–Israel strategic alliance as one of firmest bilateral relations in the contemporary world. The question that needs to be asked is that: “what were the effects of Islamic awakening on US – Israel strategic alliance”? The hypothesis is that: “although American and Israeli different conceptions and definitions of the interests and objectives on the Middle Eastern revolutionary developments caused relative divergence, but according to the strategic tie was reproduced, because the common strategic interests became prominent. Research Method in This article is predictor research and gather information through library source.
