Middle East and North Africa have long held significant strategic importance for great powers due to their geopolitical relevance. Following the victory of the Islamic Revolution, these regions have undergone profound changes and transformations, which have introduced new challenges for these powers. The most prominent of these challenges is the confrontation between the Islamic Revolution and the political interests of the United States. The necessity for Iran to export its revolutionary ideals to sustain its vitality has led to the formation of the Resistance Axis. With Iran playing a central and influential role in this axis, it has contributed to the ongoing development and deepening of the revolution’s influence. Iran’s pivotal position within the Resistance Axis has not only been a source of friction with the United States but has also become increasingly contradictory, resulting in serious tensions between the two countries across West Asia and North Africa. Therefore, analyzing the impact of the Resistance Axis on the conflicts between Iran and the United States in these regions is crucial. Identifying this dynamic is essential for rational and strategic engagement in regional movements and diplomatic relations. This article aims to explore the question: "What effect does the Resistance Axis have on the conflicts between Iran and the United States in West Asia and North Africa?" using a descriptive-analytical approach complemented by library research, grounded in the theoretical framework of ontological security. Assuming that the formation and strengthening of the Resistance Axis by Iran has intensified the conflicts with the United States in these regions, the findings suggest that the more the Resistance Axis prioritizes ontological security in its actions, the greater the escalation of conflicts between Iran and the U.S. in the Middle East and North Africa.
