Abstract
The aim of the study is to uncover the implications and reality of Iranian interference in Arab affairs and its effect on balances of regional power. It sheds light on these implications and analyses them, the study concluded that Iran’s interferences have fundamentally disrupted the role of regional powers; Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Israel, causing a shift in the power dynamics and the alliances entailed. It also highlights Iran’s historical and renewed interests and ambitions in the region, in light of the evident frailty of the Arab regime. The “Arab Spring” seen by Iran as an opportunity to reinforce and further its influence. It also brings to light the division in regards to the Arab position on Iran’s growing influence, as it is seen as strategically beneficial by some Arab states, while others see it as an overwhelming and imminent threat. The study also recommends the formation of a unified Arab approach and vision to clearly identify strategic threats and opportunities presented by Iran’s expanding role in the region, to help fortify Arab states against foreign agendas, interventions, ambitious and interests. Meanwhile, it would help mitigate the threats of political-sectarian polarization and the soft-force politicization of Shiite movements, so that they do not align themselves with the other party.

الملخص
هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى الكشف عن التدخل الإيراني في الشأن العربي وأثره على موازين القوى الإقليمية، وجاءت مشكلة الدراسة لتوضيح أثر التدخل الإيراني على موازين القوى الإقليمية وتحليله، وخلصت الدراسة إلى أن التدخل الإيراني في المنطقة العربية، أثر بشكل عميق على القوى الإقليمية الرئيسية في المنطقة العربية؛ وهي السعودية وتركيا وإسرائيل، فأعاد تموضع تلك القوى في تحالفات مختلفة، كما خلصت إلى أن الطموحات الإيرانية للمنطقة العربية قديمة متجددة، في ظل هشاشة المنظومة العربية، وتوصلت إلى أن ما سُمي بـ "الربيع العربي" شكل فرصة إيرانية لتعزيز تطلعاتها، وأظهرت أن الموقف العربي من التدخلات الإيرانية في المنطقة ليس واحدًا ولا موحدًا، بمعنى أن التدخل الإيراني مفيد واستراتيجي لبعض الدول العربية وخطر داهم لبعضها الآخر، وأوصت الدراسة بصياغة رؤية عربية واحدة لتحديد الخطر الاستراتيجي والفرصة الإستراتيجية، لتحصين الدول العربية من التدخلات والأطماع والطموحات الخارجية، واجتذاب القوى والحركات الشيعية باستخدام القوة الناعمة، حتى لا تتحالف مع الطرف الآخر.
