Abstract :
Following the Arab Spring in the Middle East and North Africa plus Afghanistan, we saw a change in the structure of power. In fact, with the Egyptian revolution in 2011, the change of government in Libya, Tunisia, Syrian crisis and Afghanistan have changed the course of many issues. Some countries that have benefited from a better position in the Arab Spring have actually decided to change their behavior and focus on strategies and policies to falsify the right position. Three of these countries have stable states in the Middle East. With the development of the region, Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia have taken power. Iran has been linked by Iraq and Syria, Turkey in Syria and northern Iraq against P.K. K 1 , Finally, Saudi Arabia in Syria, Yemen and Bahrain. The key points of the central analysis of these events are to help assess the foreign policy of Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia in the Middle East. Why are these countries seeking influence in the region? What approach do regional players take in the Middle East? This study defines the foreign policy of these countries, provides explanations about the competition of these powers, and generalizes their policy through the theory of realism, especially defensive and Offensive realism
