    United States foreign policy in the Middle East has its roots in the Barbary Wars but became more expansive after World War II as the U.S. tried to prevent Soviet influence by supporting anti-communist regimes and backing Israel, while also replacing the UK as the main security patron of Persian Gulf states to ensure a stable flow of Gulf oil. Since 9/11, U.S. policy has included a focus on counter-terrorism and diplomatic relations with all Middle Eastern countries except Iran, whose 1979 revolution established an anti-American regime. Recent U.S. priorities also involve resolving Arab-Israeli conflicts and limiting weapons of mass destruction in regional states.

    United States foreign policy in the Middle East

    United States foreign policy in the Middle East has its roots as early as the Barbary
    Wars in the first years of the U.S.'s existence, but became much more expansive after
    World War II. American policy during the Cold War tried to prevent Soviet Union
    influence by supporting anti-communist regimes and backing Israel against Soviet-
    sponsored Arab countries. The U.S. also came to replace the United Kingdom as the
    main security patron of the Persian Gulf states in the 1960s and 1970s, working to
    ensure a stable flow of Gulf oil.[1] Since the 9/11 attacks of 2001, U.S. policy has
    included an emphasis on counter-terrorism. The U.S. has diplomatic relations with all
    countries in the Middle East except for Iran, whose 1979 revolution brought to power
    a staunchly anti-American regime.

    Recent priorities of the U.S. government in the Middle East have included resolving
    the Arab–Israeli conflict and limiting the spread of weapons of mass destruction[2]
    among regional states.
