Inanswering this question, the present article tries to test this hypothesis that the main root of the events of September 11 and new challenges facing the West lies in the occurrence of crises of identity, economic gaps and political inequalities due to the globalization and the unjust US and Western policies in the support of governments and the interference in the internal affairs of the Persian Gulf and Middle Eastern nations.

The second part tries to study the impact of the above-mentioned issues on the Persian Gulf region within framework of identifying new developments in the geopolitical role of the Persian Gulf, forming a new kind of global terrorism based on radicalism as a new pivot for security threats in the Persian Gulf, changing political discourse and weakening ideological games, the impact of intensifying ethnic geopolitical competition in the region on the Persian Gulf countries and finally social and economic vulnerability of these countries after the events of September 2001.
