註釋The objective of this dissertation is to study the Iranian factor in the context of the US-Turkish relationship. Since the beginnings of the 1990s, coupled with regional and international developments, Iran began to play an important role at the center of US-Turkish relations. Since then, both US policies and military interventions within the Middle East paved the way for Iran to arise as a challengeable actor within the region. The study aims to address how American and Turkish policymakers have responded to issues in the region with regard to Iran. A central focus of the dissertation is Iran's nuclear question and Iran's increasing power, which were simultaneously of particular concern to Washington, Ankara, and Tehran. Therefore, this dissertation demonstrates how these three actors handled the nuclear issue within the framework of their concerns/interests and political legitimacy and credibility. The fact that the Iranian regime has sought to increase its sphere of influence throughout the region has led the two allies to adopt common strategies from time to time. In fact, the Iranian factor has triggered important debates and developments between Washington and Ankara, in direct proportion to the positions of Turkey and Iran on different sides, particularly with the onset of the Arab Spring and Washington's changing approach to Iran.
