Abstract

The U.S. strategy against ISIS was contradictory and flawed. It was formulated at the threshold of Congressional elections in 2014, therefore, partisan predilections were obvious in it. Exploring this strategy and the reasons behind its formulation as well as its flaws can provide us a sound understanding of decision-making process in the U.S. regarding the Middle East issues that is very important for Iran. Although, Iran was not explicitly named in this strategy, it was implicitly regarded as a part of a long-term solution. For this reason, it was not surprising that in the Resolution 2254 passed by the Security Council, Iran's reservations were incorporated. Important issues which explain the situation are the particular structure of policy-making within the U.S. which is affected by OBAMA administration's predilections and internal pressures exerted on it, flaws and contradictions of this strategy and different views in the U.S. on the prospect of cooperation with Iran in struggle against ISIS and its obstacles. Within this framework, drawing upon the theory of BUREAUCRATIC POLITICS developed by Graham Alison along with a more micro model called "providing commitment", this article gives an appropriate explanation on the manner in which the coalition against ISIS was declared. Generally, this coalition lacks seriousness and resolution and it will get into trouble without cooperating with Iran due to the fact that U.S. abstains from sending ground combat force to SYRIA.
