I think this is not good adequate hypothetic topic to consider that Iran is going to become a dominant regional power in the Middle East, because Iran is still fighting for its survival due to internal and external situation.
Now a day, Iran is virtually a sandwich between Super Power (USA).On it East Afghanistan and on its West Iraq with full of American Army arsenals.
Historically speaking Arab World never accepted any sort of authority of Iran even when they were poor in natural resources (Oil) but I thing it is very important for the World Peace and economy to keep Iran stable in the area, especially for those countries, which are poor or importing all their Oil from this region. Iran stability means keeping Oil prices stable.
USA has enjoyed very good relationship with Iran in near past. Americans are the friends, those given first nuclear power plant to Iran in 1960s. Why they can be good friends in near future? Just because of Israel relationship with Iran. Every body know that Muslim Countries political leaders always use hard words for Israel to increase their popular support in the public, because they know that all Islamic World population hate Israeli policy in respect of Philistines.
Israel has a very strong lobby in Capital hill, so no body there has courage to talk about this. I will suggest to Israelis, please do not be selfish, and let your friend be out of crises in the region, otherwise no body will be frontrunner.
