خلاصة:
The second Pahlavi government in the 1970s (1970 AD) was able to become one of the most active players in the arena of international relations under the shadow of alliance and partnership with the West. This writing, based on a historical-analytical method by examining Iran's position in the US foreign policy system from World War II to the beginning of the 1970s, addresses how the Shah's power grew increasingly within this system. From a foreign policy perspective, it analyzes Iran's position in the doctrine of US presidents during that period and the causes and factors effective in guiding Iran toward becoming a regional and extra-regional player. A detailed examination of the doctrine of US presidents indicates that issues related to the importance of Iranian oil, as well as bordering the Soviet Union, the power vacuum resulting from Britain's withdrawal, and Iran's capacity to fill this vacuum, are among the most important factors affecting the doctrine of US presidents and Iran's rise to power during these years.

On the other hand, after the war, the United States entered the arena of world politics as one of the most powerful countries, and in this regard, Iran, as a geostrategic country in terms of its proximity to the Soviet Union and also geoeconomically due to its possession of vast oil resources, held special importance in that country's strategic system, and each of the US presidents implemented and executed their own policies regarding Iran.
25 In fact, during the presidency of Harry Truman, with the acquisition of the atomic bomb, high economic growth, militarization, and the inherent nature of eliminating rivals in the bipolar struggle, America inevitably moved beyond intra-continental politics; it sought to resolve its foreign issues using these tools, and thus the bond between weapons and politics was established in that country, although this policy could not achieve much success; because at the same time, the Greek government was drawn into the communist camp, and simultaneously in Iran, the failure of Soviet forces to withdraw from Azerbaijan revealed the first sparks of the Cold War. Thus, the Truman Doctrine took shape based on the confrontation between two hostile ideologies, imperialism and communism: Whenever and wherever an anti-communist government is threatened through various means such as inciting local rebels, intervention, or even diplomatic pressure, America will support that government with economic, political, and most importantly, military aid.
