Abstract:
This research paper predicts a paradigmatic shift in the U.S. policy towards the Middle-East. It premises its argument based on the commonality of regional interests between U.S. and Iran which supersede the previous discourse of Iran as the pariah state. The changing geo-strategic dynamics of the region and its cost-benefit analysis have led U.S. to a shifting posture towards Iran. The Middle-East, under the aegis of U.S, is shifting towards the emergence of a new regional order.
