چکیده:
Persian Gulf is one of the most important and sensitive region concerning the strategic and geopolitical importance. In the absence of confidence and trust building there would be lesser cooperative motivation and regional transactions among the nations of this region. That is why regional countries resort to big powers in order to gain and secure their national interests. It seems most of foreign interferences in the region is due to the lack of trust among these nations that attracted supper powers to this region. This paper used descriptive analytical approach. The most basic of requisite of security to a collective security system is unity among members of a region. What kind of safe and secure system should we build in order to have a secure and conflict free region in Persian Gulf? The main hypothesis of this article is to see if the system of unity, coordination, coherence and interaction among Persian Gulf countries would lead to a peaceful region without being dependent on superpowers for assuring security and peaceful transition to economic and political development.

Confidence Building as a Prerequisite for Security and the Collective Security System in the Persian Gulf Dr. Masoud Matlabi * / Reza Ghaffari ** / Shamsi Kazemi *** Abstract Undoubtedly, the Persian Gulf is considered one of the most important and sensitive regions in the world in terms of geopolitical perspectives and strategic calculations; however, the existence of an atmosphere of mistrust among the countries of this region and their reluctance toward regional pacts has diminished the grounds for cooperation between governments and economic units in the region.
The security arrangements of the region throughout the past and present century, the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran and its resulting socio-political transformations in the Middle East, the formation of the US Rapid Deployment Force and its related performances and reactions, the formation of the Gulf Cooperation Council and its regional effects, the occurrence of the eight-year imposed war of Iraq against Iran, Iraq's military aggression against Kuwait and its political and military results, and the formation of the new world order after the second Gulf crisis and the US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq are considered turning points in the field of regional and international politics.
The entry of oil companies into the Persian Gulf region after World War II itself caused significant political, economic, military, cultural, and social transformations, and this region has not been able to achieve a strategic balance that provides the national interests of the countries in this area until now.
