Strategic policymaking and US foreign policy decision making towards Middle East in
different historical periods have been accompanied by signs of continuity and change. The
reason for this must be seen in the United States' geopolitical and strategic attitude toward
Iran. Countries such as Iran have unique characteristics in terms of their strategic position,
which minimizes the impact of the political system in decision-making. George Bush Jr,
Barack Obama and Donald Trump are among the presidents of America who belong to
different strategic traditions, but their behavioral pattern in dealing with Iran is based on
indications such as "containment", "Sanction", "asymmetrical action", and "proxy war".
Although the intellectual teachings and behavioral patterns of each of the presidents are
different, the main strategic orientations of the US in the 21st century are based on signs of
"low intense confrontation". To use of social forces to confront the patterns of political
behavior and foreign policy of Iran. The support of counter-party groups with Iran in the
peripheral environment within the framework of "proxy war" can be part of US strategic
policy making in the form of "offshore balancing". The main purpose of this article is to
understand the behavioral patterns of that group of US presidents who have had relatively
different strategic goals and policies. The main question of the article is: "What kind of
strategic policy making model for Iran's presidents in the 21st century has been?" The
hypothesis of the paper points to this: "The difference in the mentality of the presidents of
the United States in the 21st century has not influenced the strategy of offshore balancing
and its policies in the form of low-intense confrontation, proxy war, and containment "The
realistic approach has been used in this article.
