The aim of this study is to discuss United States of America policy toward the Arabian Gulf during President Carter Administration. The emphasis of the paper is on the role of the National Security Adviser namely Zbigniew Brzezinski. After the Iranian revolution and the Soviets invasion of Afghanistan, US policy toward the Gulf region was rather passing through grave changes. In order to protect the American interests in the area, President Carter had to draw new policy. In the end, he came up with Carter Doctrine. This research is more interested in the decision-making during Carter’s era. Therefore, the process of this policy and how it came about would be discussed in details. Furthermore, the background of those participants in drawing that policy, as well as the struggle among them will be discussed too.
