In the context of neoclassical realism, this article focuses on the intrinsic interference variables, particularly the role of pro-Israel ethnic groups, and uses the solidarity approach to lobby for US foreign policy. The Israeli lobby in the United States consists of a network of Jewish organizations, including AIPAC and GI Street, which are the most effective and inclusive lobby groups in the country, respectively, as a prominent and successful force in influencing US policies regarding Israel, the Middle East and Iran. The mechanism of AIPAC and JS Street is enforced by the lobbying with Congress, given the nature of the American political system and the prominent role it gives Congress in American policymaking. The main focus of AIPAC is to broadly align US policy with that of hardline right-wing Israel in Israel, so far as it has sought to present it as a threat to international peace and security and to pressure Iran through a boycott of the nuclear pretext. And to support the stalemate in the Iran-5 + 1 negotiations. While JSR has tried to adopt a different approach with the so-called Israeli support for peace support and with the main aim of creating an independent identity against AIPAC by attracting groups outside AIPAC or opposing radical and right-wing policies such as liberal and moderate groups. To show another face of American Jewish society and act as a counterweight to AIPAC. A striking example of this change of approach was Obama's support for Iran in the Iran-5 + 1 nuclear talks.

Have fueled. This study attempts to answer the question: How has the security of religion influenced the spread of crises in the Middle East based on the ontological security theory? Accordingly, with the descriptive-analytical method, the findings of the present study show that the securitization of religion through the hostile identification of regional actors, the two rival religious identities, Iran and Saudi Arabia, by securing religious identity and highlighting components such as dignity.

One of the most enduring conflicts in international relations has been the tense relationship between the United States and Vietnam. Vietnam's Communist leaders, who had, until decades before, eroded any US imperialist influence on their flags and set the pattern for the struggle against America; gradually toward the end of the 1980s and early 1990s, normalizing their relations with the United States and working with the institutions. And international regimes have stepped up. This shift in foreign policy has dramatically restored Vietnam's relations with the international community, and in particular with the United States.

To answer this question, the authors have validated the hypothesis that the revolutionary government of Vietnam, affected by the perceptions of the leaders of the first generation of the revolution, faced widespread economic, political, and international crises, which paved the way for the new leaders to come to terms with the world. And different perceptions, one of the major consequences of which was the change in foreign policy and the normalization of US policy.

And as Beijing's political influence has been used to meet the needs of domestic economic development, the increase in economic resources has also contributed to China's political reinforcement, and China has not externally expanded in a way that imposes heavy costs on the domestic community. Rather, it is the external expansion that serves the economic interests of the domestic community.

Leaders' beliefs and their perceptions of the threat are an important part of the reason for the continued hostility between states in the international system. Regardless of the extent of the actual threat from the enemy and its aftermath, as well as ignoring the fact that many governments act not only for the threat but for the sake of security concerns and how the leaders of the two countries perceive the nature of the threat, it can yield results.
