- <p>This article offers an in-depth analysis of the relationship between escalating <br>tensions between Iran and the United States and the relative decline of American <br>hegemony in the post-Bretton Woods era. Drawing upon International Relations <br>theories, particularly Realism and Political Economy, and supported by historical <br>and economic evidence, it argues that U.S. policy towards Iran, especially in <br>recent decades, has largely been based on “pretext-making” (Manufactured <br>Pretext/Scapegoating) to preserve America’s global standing amidst a declining <br>power. The article traces the trajectory of America’s relative power decline from <br>the end of the Bretton Woods system to the emergence of new powers and the <br>costly wars of the 21st century. It posits that Iran has been instrumentalized as a <br>“challenger” or “disruptive variable” within this transitional global order, serving <br>as a tool for the U.S. to manage domestic and international crises and maintain a <br>semblance of hegemonic authority. <br>Keywords: Iran, United States, Hegemony, Power Decline, Pretext-Making <br>Theory, Global Order, Bretton Woods, Realism, Foreign Policy.</p>
