These arrangements in terms of strategy are a Israel -based disciplined. Despite the strategies outlined in the plan, such as helping to develop the political, social, economic development, what is implicit in the design of the Greater Middle East, is that Israel-based plan comes following the hegemonic order of U.S.A.In contrast, the prospects for the development of twenty years of the Islamic Republic has been characterized by its influence on regional developments, targeting first Iran in the Middle East., In this perspective, the Shiite is considered as Iran’s strategic depth.
