The relations between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran became very tense since the Islamic Revolution and the hostility between the two countries was revealed. With the increase of Iran's power and the strategic importance of the Middle East region, various countries and people of this region have been influenced by the policies of both sides and have played a role as collaborators or allies in this conflict. Currently, a new model of war, i.e. hybrid war, which is a combination of military, insurgency, terrorism, psychological, cyber, economic and media warfare, is being developed. The question of this research is what is the effect of this conflict on the countries of the region and their role in the hybrid war between America and Iran? The research method of the present article is descriptive-explanatory and the data were collected using the library method, the hypothesis is that the change in the geography of the conflict between America and Iran to the Middle East has caused the countries of the region to participate in this war. The findings of the research show that both countries influence policies and crises in the region with the tools of hybrid warfare, and sometimes they use a third country to hit each other.
