Book Cover & Preview Text
Gabriel G.Tabarani takes us in his new book through information, documents and arguments to learn about the Shiite-Sunni divide in the Middle East and how Washington, by eliminating the Saddam Hussein and Taliban regimes, created a regional power vacuum. Though happy to take advantage of this situation, Iran is planning and intending to fight America through unique means in order to dominate and to exert influence across the Middle East.
The book develops and explains the substantial body of history, information, background and analysis required for a meaningful understanding of the current troubles. It covers in detail the regional and global ambitions of Iran and its financial and military capabilities including -and not limited to- its relations with non-state armed groups such as Hizbollah, Hamas and the Mehdi Army as well as its long-standing alliance with Syria.
Furthermore, he argues and discusses in detail the relations between Iran and the Arab Gulf Countries, USA and Israel. He also covers in detail the American strategy for the Gulf region as a whole.
Moreover, Mr. Tabarani discusses thoroughly the current nuclear crisis that will change the face of the Middle East. He also includes commentary on the present and future role of both Russia and China in the region.
In his conclusion after analyzing Turkey’s emerging role in the region, Mr. Tabarani comes to recommendations as to how to broker a peaceful solution to the current US-Iranian crisis. It is groundbreaking for a book to provide such a detailed course of action that can help all parties involved achieve lasting peace.
It is really a very interesting, fair and balanced book which it is rare in its kind. I recommend it highly to every one interested in the Middle East politics.

About the Book
With the creeping possibility of a nuclear breakout, its vigorous sponsorship of international non-state armed groups and its escalating intervention next door in Iraq, Lebanon and the Palestinian Territories; the Islamic Republic of Iran is a triple threat - at least - to international security and America and Western’s Middle Eastern interests. Indeed, perhaps no country, according to the West, fits the definition of rogue state as well as Iran does. Making matters worse, Iran’s confidence and clout in the region - and beyond - are indubitably on the rise.
But that is only the beginning. Shiite Persian Iran is not content with being just an inconsequential pariah. Iran has grand ambitions. Tehran wants to be the predominant state in the Middle East, replacing the United States as the region’s power broker and lording over its Sunni Arab neighbours. With the fall of its most fearsome competitors for regional pre-eminence – Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and Afghanistan’s Taliban - Iran is unabashedly reasserting itself on the international stage.
Buoyed by high energy prices, emboldened by continuing American challenges in Iraq and Afghanistan, encouraged by consistent, unimpeded progress in its nuclear program and the increased influence of its extremist allies - Hamas and Hizbollah - Iran has its eye on becoming the regional hegemony.
So the question here: How Iran plans to fight America, Israel and the West and dominate the Middle East?
Gabriel G. Tabarani, who is an Expert on Middle East Affairs, will try to give the answer on this question in this book through a fair and balanced information, analysis, arguments, examination, and recommendations which will clear every point concerning the Iranian ambitions and the USA strategy to confront them.
