The purpose of this paper is to examine the role and performance of Western intelligence and security agencies in the Middle East crisis after the 9/11 attacks. In this research, library or documentary methods with tools, ie scanning, have been used. The main question in this study is: What role has the Western intelligence community played in the Middle East crises since 9/11? Hypothetically, it seems that after 9/11, the Western intelligence community, through the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), was directly involved in the Middle East crisis. Western intelligence agencies have become a tool for alteration, and have directly led to developments in the Middle East that have led to crises caused by inefficiency and misinformation in practice. Because after the incident, the countries of the Middle East were attacked on the pretext of being terrorists and became a tense and critical field. The US National Security Strategy document was based solely on concerns about the possibility of the development of weapons of mass destruction by some governments, the possibility of transferring these weapons to terrorists, and the inability to effectively contain and deter these threats through prevention.
