Abstract
Islamic Awakening is a phenomenon that was introduced at the same time with the West's invasion of the Islamic world and the colonial era, and has reached its peak as a phenomenon influenced by the intellectual movement of the Islamic Republic of Iran today in the form of a social movement in the Middle East and North Africa. . So that means following the Islamic teachings that originated in Islamic Iran and spread to the countries of the Persian Gulf and the Middle East from Egypt and Bahrain. The main purpose of this article is to examine the Islamic Awakening and the strategy of the United States in Iran, Egypt and Bahrain. Our argument will be that the US government, by implementing its strategy in this region; That is, the embargo of the Islamic Republic of Iran after the revolution, which is in some way contrary to the standards of human rights and international law, also tried to change the revolution in Egypt and secularize the government with a coup interfered in the internal affairs of that country. It goes without saying that it has not neglected to implement its policies in the Middle East, including Bahrain, and by supporting the Al Khalifa regime, it has supported a kind of state terrorism of this regime, all of which the US states are contrary to international law.
