In a world, where globalization and industrial as well as technological progress are the most frequently heard voices, the Persian Gulf yet remains as an outstanding region for the most precious strategic reserves of the world. The Persian Gulf harbors as the biggest reserves of the world are a major center for producing oil and natural gas of the world. Such a great importance has turned the Persian Gulf region into a hotbed for international tension resulting in the presence of big powers particularly the United States in the region, thus endangering the security there. Occupying Iraq in a military campaign, the United States is pursuing a lot of interests in the Persian Gulf region including access to the cheap energy resources of the Persian Gulf region, preventing the domination of other powers over the region and ensuring the security of its regional allies. After all, ensuring the free and stable transfer of oil to other parts of the world is viewed as one of the prime and basic interests of the United States in the Persian Gulf region. Meanwhile, the US reluctance to leave Iraq is seen as a policy to meet such interests. Unfortunately, the Persian Gulf region is the source of clashes among governments, ethnic rivalries, Islamic fundamentalism, internal instability and the absence of balance of power at domestic level. On a global scale, the intervention of foreign powers has fueled tensions in the region. A deliberate initiative is required for the Persian Gulf region to weather the ongoing crisis and ensure its regional security in the future. Reviewing the presence of the US in the region and the initiatives made by this country, the present essay aims at designing a certain order for the Persian Gulf region so as to ensure its security.
