Abstract
Middle East is sacrosanct for being birthplace of three religions as Islam, Christian and Jews and is termed as cradle of civilizations. For strategists its strategic significance is inevitable due to its epicentre, the Persian Gulf. Events in Middle East directly affect economy and security of not only the West but also the world at large. Recently the region is ridden with political, religious and security turmoil. The geopolitical dynamics got transformed after 9/11 and especially with the US invasion of Iraq whereby Iran leverage was enhanced dramatically. Consequently, US, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Iran became active players to balance the power of region. This study will analyze the genesis of Israel and that what are the US policy contours in Middle East and how far the US has succeeded in achieving these goals? How the geopolitical dynamics are working in the region with convergence and divergence of interests? The confused policies on the part of the US should take new turn in order to restore peace and real democratic set up.
