Abstract
The U.S.A perceives muslims as violent terrorists and fanatic fundamentalists whose basicbeliefs contradict with the American ones. Also, muslims are seen as anti americanism andanti modernism that prefer confrontation rather than dialogue. Moreover, the american policytowards muslim countries is based upon this misunderstanding. Though, this perception isrooted in the american history but it has strongly appeared in the post cold war era in search
for a new enemy after the collapse of the Soviet Union. On this basis, the american responseto the relevant islamic issues is based on its interests and hegemonic ambitions. The americann iranian relationship is the case in point in which the US justified its policy towards Iran to preserve order in the Persian Gulf and the Middle East. This dissertation studies the american policy towards the Islamic countries and Iran is the case study which reveals such a policy. This research work aims to reveal the extent to which American relations towards the Islamicn countries is a result of its political thought. In order to examine the impact of the American foreign policy that is based on American ideals and interest, the American-Iranian relations is a good illustration.
