Abstract
Despite the geostrategic importance of the Middle East and the active participation of US forces in the Second Gulf War (Desert Storm). But the administration did not increase its military operations in the region until after the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Consistent with the idea of not losing the gains made to the United States after the occupation Iraq and trying to limit Iranian influence in Iraq and Syria, there was a need to redeploy US forces in Iraq and place them in strong and fortified bases in different parts of the country. This behavior was contrary to Obama's isolationist strategy. And boosted Trump's idea of maximizing US gains in the region, as well as restricting free rider access to any potential future gains in the region. The opposite direction that complicates the American options is the new Russian role in the region and the need to deal with Moscow to fight ISIS, especially at the intersection of interests between the two superpowers. As well as the growing Iranian influence on both the Iraqi and Syrian fronts, which Washington must strengthen its strategic objectives in cooperation with the regional allies. Despite the relatively realistic approach in his foreign policy. President Trump raised the slogan "make America great again".
