The National Interest magazine published an article in which its author claimed that over the past 30 years, the United States has fought Iran's wars in the Middle East, helped to eliminate the enemies of the Islamic Republic and thus enable the mullahs to govern.

The author d. Ali Demerdas, a professor of political science at the University of South Carolina and a Fulbright scholar, has testified to his view.

One example is that in 1991 Washington did what the Iranian mullahs could not in eight years of fierce war against Saddam Hussein's Iraq. It formed an international military alliance under its leadership to launch what was then known as the Gulf War, which ended with the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003, which relieved Tehran.

De-Baathification law
After the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime, the US-led Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) enacted a special law to root out the Baath Party. As the Shiites make up the majority of the country's population, according to Demerdas, control over them and then Iran.

The writer claims that former generals of Saddam Hussein and Sunni dissidents who were excluded by the new regime and denied them rights under the de-Baathification law, established the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.

Demirdas quoted David Kilcullen, a former adviser to Gen. David Petraeus, from 2007 to 2008 before becoming special adviser to former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, acknowledging that many of the problems in the Middle East were made by the United States.

State Organization and the Iraqi Baath
Kilcullen continued his confession, saying, "ISIS would certainly not have existed had it not been for an invasion of Iraq."

The university professor follows what he believes to be evidence to support his argument at the outset of his article that the United States has been fighting Iran 's wars in the Middle East, including its war on IS after the latter began to pose a greater threat to Tehran.

US forces invaded Iraq in March 2003 and toppled Saddam Hussein's regime and the Iranian regime's biggest beneficiary was Reuters.

Demirdas then turns to talk about the fate of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. He said that Gaddafi was a secular Sunni like Saddam, and was looking to become the leader of the Arab world, but his relationship with Iran was tense because of the disappearance of Lebanese Shiite leader Imam Moussa al-Sadr during his visit to Libya in 1978.

Get rid of Gaddafi
Because of his Arab views, which Iran considered a threat, Gaddafi was also ousted from power in a US-led military operation in 2011.

The author then touched on the role America played in the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan, which emerged in the late 1990s. He said the Taliban, a Sunni movement, also posed a threat to the Shi'ite regime in Tehran.

Javed Ahmad of the Atlantic Council says Tehran initially confronted the Taliban out of fear of a possible impact of the movement on the separatist Jundollah, which operates in the eastern province of Sistan and Baluchistan.

Iran to fill the vacuum in Afghanistan
After its intervention in Afghanistan, America became the common enemy of the Taliban and Iran alike, transforming the nature of relations between the movement and Tehran, which began to support the Taliban in its war against the Americans.

Today, Washington is trying to negotiate with the Taliban in a frenzied effort to "accelerate the flight from Afghanistan," Demerdas said, adding that Iran is lining up to fill the vacuum in that country after the imminent US withdrawal.

The researcher and professor concludes that the United States is providing Iraq and Afghanistan "on a silver platter" to Iran, although more than 7,000 US soldiers have lost their lives, wounded more than 53 thousand others, and spent more than $ 5.9 trillion of US taxpayers' money on Its wars in the region since 2001.

Now, eight years on, Washington seems utterly helpless as it tries to see what it is doing in Libya and Syria, but what is certain - Demerdas - is that the United States has lost much in its contributions to Iran's victories in the Middle East.
