The purpose of this paper is to examine the role and performance of Western intelligence and security agencies in the Middle East crisis after the 9/11 attacks. In this research, library or documentary methods with tools, ie scanning, have been used. The main question in this study is: What role has the Western intelligence community played in the Middle East crises since 9/11? Hypothetically, it seems that after 9/11, the Western intelligence community, through the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), was directly involved in the Middle East crisis. Western intelligence agencies have become a tool for alteration, and have directly led to developments in the Middle East that have led to crises caused by inefficiency and misinformation in practice. Because after the incident, the countries of the Middle East were attacked on the pretext of being terrorists and became a tense and critical field. The US National Security Strategy document was based solely on concerns about the possibility of the development of weapons of mass destruction by some governments, the possibility of transferring these weapons to terrorists, and the inability to effectively contain and deter these threats through prevention.

Matthew Green2 (2018) in his research considers America's intervention in the war against terrorism, which was proposed following the September 11 terrorist attacks, as causing a significant change in the attitudes and concerns of nations regarding the resulting crises; it is stated in this article that due to the admission of intelligence and security organizations based on the seepage of terrorist attacks from the Middle East region, America's military operations and the outbreak of war in the Middle East have brought passive effects.
Nora Bensahel and Daniel Byman (2003) in a book titled "The Future of the Security Environment in the Middle East"3 believe that: in the coming years in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf countries, issues such as: economic and political reforms, military and non-military relations, regime change, energy security, the expansion of new information technology, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, will affect regional security, and the volume of potential challenges for the United States regarding these countries will also experience an upward trend.
America identified political Islam and terrorism as the two main factors threatening its security and interests after the 11 September incident in the Middle East region, and it sought to uproot extremism by opening political conditions and improving economic conditions in countries that are considered the intellectual and financial origins of such radical movements, just as Donald Trump also made the ban on Muslims entering the United States the goal of his work and significantly reduced the laws for interacting with them (Robert Malley and Jon Finer 1, 2018).
