This led the United States to claim that Iran was trying to create nuclear weapons and pressured Iran to terminate it. The purpose of this article is to identify the US strategic interests in the Middle Eastern region in relation to Iran's nuclear. It is then elaborated in detail and analysed using a neorealism perspective. This article is qualitative in which primary data is collected through interviews with field experts. In addition, reports and content analysis are also part of the primary data of this article, while secondary data refers to authoritative internet materials. We argue that US strategic interests in the Middle East in the context of Iran's nuclear is to control Persian Gulf oil resources, preventing wider Iran's influence in the Middle East, providing military protection to the Persian Gulf states as the largest oil producers in the Middle East and protecting Israel whom is a close US ally. When viewed from neorealism perspective, we argue that Iran's action under Ahmadinejad to continue its nuclear program is justified as it is a survival effort and to prevent external threats, though this will lead to nuclear competition in the region.

This is due to the rising rate of underemployment over the years. Furthermore, as a direct consequence of national and global economic changes, the COVID-19 pandemic has expanded this percentage even more. Employers are extremely strict when it comes to the selection of employees based on this tendency. In addition to academic excellence, the personality factor is used as a screening method for employees. In previous research, researchers have conducted several synthesis and methodical evaluations of the literature to evaluate the association between personality and marketability factors of prospective graduates. According to the findings of a systematic review of the literature, referencing the CareerEDGE Model could be used as a basis for marketability. Furthermore, the emphasis on Shapero and Shokol's Entrepreneurial Event Theory demonstrates graduates' preparedness to enter the job market. Commonly dialog, personality influences...

The Iran-US good relationship before the revolution was because both countries had mutual interests. Iran needed US assistance to develop its nuclear program, while the US was in need of Iran's supply of oil and made the country as US hegemonic pole and to block the spread of communism of the Soviet Union. When the Islamic Revolution took place in 1979, relations between the two countries were at a critical level and indirectly, US interests in Iran were also affected. This turned the Iran-US relations in the opposite phase. However, after Rouhani took over Iran's leadership, Iran-US relations were deemed to be quite good. Unfortunately, when Donald Trump became President of the United States in 2017, Iran-US relation has become uncertain as Trump refused to ratify the nuclear deal. The objective of t...

The agreement gives hope that tensions between Iran and the Western countries, especially US, would end in line with the signing of the agreement. However, when the US administration was taken over by Donald Trump, the hope was dashed when Trump announced that US was withdrawing from the nuclear agreement on 8 May 2018.

Kesepakatan ini memberikan harapan kepada ramai pihak bahawa ketegangan antara Iran dan negara Barat, khususnya Amerika Syarikat (AS), akan berakhir selari dengan ditandatanganinya perjanjian tersebut. Walau bagaimanapun, apabila pentadbiran AS beralih kepada Donald Trump, harapan menjadi musnah apabila Trump mengumumkan bahawa AS menarik diri daripada perjanjian nuklear tersebut pada 8 Mei 2018 yang lalu. Trump justeru menganggap perjanjian JCPOA ini adalah yang terburuk yang melibatkan AS. Trump juga mendakwa Iran sebagai “rejim fanatik” dan “banyak melakukan pelanggaran perjanjian”. Persoalan dalam kajian ini ialah apakah karakter peribadi dan gaya kepimpinan Trump boleh mempengaruhi dasar negara?. Untuk menjawab persoalan ini, data sekunder telah dikumpulkan dan kemudian dianalisis dengan menggunakan pend...

USA’s oil reserve decreased in the last few years but its consumption in transportation, industrial, residential and commercial, and electric power increased. USA needs oil supply from other regions especially the West Asia and Iran because oil resources in this region are more abundant than other regions. However, USA’s effort to tighten its hegemony in West Asia faced great challenge from Iran’s anti-USA policy since 1979. This article analyzes those counter-hegemony strategies used by Iran, under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for the first term of his leadership (2005-2009), against USA’s hegemonic expansion in this region. This study uses descriptive and analytical qualitative approach to understand and evaluate those strategies used by Ahmadinejad. By using counter-hegemony the...

Seiring jatuhnya Uni Soviet sekaligus menandai berakhirnya Perang Dingin, China dilihat sebagai pesaing hegemoni AS dan berpotensi besar menjadi negara hegemoni global mengantikan AS pada masa yang akan datang. Hubungan yang erat China-Iran pasca revolusi 1979 dipersepsikan oleh AS sebagai ancaman terhadap hegemoninya di Timur Tengah. Sebagai kekuatan regional, Iran dianggap mumpuni untuk memperluaskan pengaruhnya di Timur Tengah, apalagi jika Iran memanfaatkan program nuklirnya untuk kepentingan senjata, jelas akan mengancam kepentingan dan hegemoni AS di kawasan. Kesepakatan antara Iran dengan P5+1 terkait nuklir dilihat sebagai upaya AS untuk meredam kebimbangannya. Namun, justru hal ini membuka peluang kepada China untuk menjalin hubungan yang lebih erat dibandingkan sebelumnya dengan Iran sekaligus akan memberikan persaingan yang lebih sengit kepada AS pada masa yang akan datang.
