In the discussion of the nuclearization of Middle Eastern countries, the United States and Europe are two important and influential regions in world politics. However, the policies of these two regions regarding the nuclearization of Middle Eastern countries differ from each other due to their different attitudes and influences. The United States, due to its great influence in the Middle Eastern region and also in preventing potential threats to national security, seeks to prevent Middle Eastern countries from going nuclear. The United States seeks to prevent these countries from going nuclear by imposing economic sanctions and military threats. The United States also seeks to protect human rights and international law in this regard and, considering potential threats to national security, uses a military approach to prevent Middle Eastern countries from going nuclear. On the other hand, Europe, due to its geographical proximity and the direct effects of this issue on the region, seeks a diplomatic and cooperative approach with Middle Eastern countries. Europe seeks peaceful nuclear agreements with Middle Eastern countries and tries to prevent these countries from going nuclear through negotiations and agreements. Also, Europe seeks to protect human rights and international law in this regard and does not use a military approach and military threats to prevent Middle Eastern countries from going nuclear. Therefore, the policies of the United States and Europe regarding the nuclearization of Middle Eastern countries are different from each other. The United States seeks to prevent possible threats to national security and uses a military approach to prevent Middle Eastern countries from going nuclear, while Europe seeks a diplomatic and cooperative approach with Middle Eastern countries and seeks to prevent these countries from going nuclear through peaceful nuclear agreements. The necessity and importance of the present study is in the comparative and comparative study of the approaches of the United States and the European Union in facing the nuclearization of these countries in the sensitive and turbulent Middle Eastern region.
Regarding the research background, it should be said that so far, research has been written on the nuclear programs of Middle Eastern countries and the policies of the United States and the European Union towards it. However, no research has been conducted to compare and contrast the impact of the policies and approaches of the United States and the European Union on the nuclear programs of Middle Eastern countries.
The aim of this research is to examine and understand the approaches of the United States and the European Union towards the nuclearization of Middle Eastern countries; and the main question will be answered: What is the approach of the United States and the European Union to the process of nuclearization of Middle Eastern countries? In the hypothesis, we will also say that the approach of the United States is to prevent the nuclearization of the pivotal countries of the Middle East and maintain Israel's nuclear superiority; and the approach of the European Union is to target crisis management in nuclear activities in the region. This research is based on the explanatory-comparative method and the method of collecting data and information is library-based. The findings of the research also show the difference in the approach of the United States and Europe towards the nuclear programs of Middle Eastern countries.

Conclusion
The aim of this research is to examine and understand the approaches of the United States and the European Union towards the nuclearization of Middle Eastern countries; and the main question was answered: What is the approach of the United States and the European Union to the process of nuclearization of Middle Eastern countries? The hypothesis of this research was that the approach of the United States is to prevent the nuclearization of the pivotal countries of the Middle East and maintain Israel's nuclear superiority; and the approach of the European Union is to manage the crisis in nuclear activities in the region in a targeted manner.
In short, the approaches of the United States and Europe towards the nuclear program of Middle Eastern countries are different for various reasons. While the United States is focused on defending Israel's security, Europe is seeking to find diplomatic solutions to solve regional issues. The United States, as a trans-regional power, is trying to have a permanent presence in the Middle East and strengthen this presence through its military power, but Europe has a different perspective on regional developments due to its institutional perspective on global issues and the lack of a need for direct presence in the Middle East. On the other hand, due to the geographical proximity between Europe and the Middle East, the southern countries of the Union feel more threatened by its crises and the promotion of Islamic radicalism and terrorism in the region, but the United States does not feel threatened to such an extent. In addition, both actors, as we have seen, share the same views on promoting liberal democracy, reforms in the Middle East, and efforts to gain benefits from the Middle East.
