Given the international and domestic demands of political regimes that have been under serious threat during recent developments in the Middle East, each of these countries has taken a different path. Meanwhile, the Syrian crisis has led to a widespread civil war that has not yet yielded a successful peaceful solution. According to the authors of this article, such a situation as the continuing bloody conflict between armed rebels and Syrian government forces to control two serious enemies against US and Israeli security - the Salafist and Assad regime groups - is certainly the view of American strategists, and so it seems. The situation will continue until the two groups, especially radical Islamists, are weakened. Due to the similarity of the situation in the Syrian crisis and the Iran-Iraq war, both in terms of erosion and the shared hostility between the Assad regime and the Salafist fundamentalists to US interests in the region, the theoretical framework for this article will be a weakness strategy. That is, the Reagan administration had waged war against Iran and Iraq during the war between the two countries. The strategy was used to weaken both Iran and Iraq as regimes capable of threatening US interests in the region.
