Abstract: 
Purpose - This paper aims to examine the regional dynamics that further consolidated Israel's national security in the Middle East in the aftermath of the Arab Spring, reflecting upon the nuclear challenge between Iran and Israel and Iran's expanding activities in the region. Design/methodology/approach - To prove the central argument, the study uses a conceptual framework that centers on deterrence as the main approach used by states to consolidate their influence in the Middle East region. Findings - Iran's nuclear progress and influence in the region has strengthened Israel's security and fostered an unprecedented open rapprochement led by USA efforts with the Gulf regimes. Originality/value - The paper draws particular attention to the Iran-Israel nuclear competency, and the Israeli preferred policy options regarding Iranian activities in the region amid turbulent Middle East. In addition, the paper offers insight to the regional dynamics that further consolidated Israel's national security in the region while maintaining a status of Arab vulnerability and backwardness.
