Abstract

The main objective of the study was fourfold, firstly it was to analyze the ulterior objectives of USA in Iran, secondly, to analyze the impact of sanctions of US on Iran, thirdly, to highlight the strategy of Iran facing the US opposition in the region, and to critically analyze the US Iran rivalry effect on Pakistan. It has been observed that because of the US interests in Persian  Gulf and to check Iran’s nuclear activities, US is exerting pressure on Iran in the shape of  imposing sanctions on her. US has several intimate pursuits in Pakistan for resuming the safety policy in a timely manner mainly after the 9/11 confrontation. US forced Pakistan to come in terms with the policies what she desires. Because of the increasing tensions between Iran and US, Pakistan played a mediator role several times to reduce this tension however, it did not succeed because of the interests of US in both Pakistan and Iran. The tension between the two countries is still escalating.
