One of the reasons for this instability and regional conflict is direct and indirect intervention of the United States and its presence in theregion. One of the areas that is in the focus of these interventions is the Middle East, because fears of losing regional allies and the formation of the dominant discourse of resistance and independence caused by the Arab revolutions led the country indirectly continues its presence by proxy wars in, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq to keep its interests and continuous presence in the Middle East. Consequently, as proxy wars have important role in the redefinition of the new order of the region, the main discussion of this article is the analysis of the US foreign policy in the creation of proxy wars and its impact on the security of the Middle East.

In response to this question, it can be said that the US foreign policy in in generating proxy war has been an attempt to institutionalize a kind of subliminal counterbalance in the West Asia.
