Sažetak
Penetration of the USA into the Persian Gulf was to a large extent prompted by rich oil fields in the region. Washington was pointing slowly and cautiously, but nevertheless continuously to the significance of natural resources of the Persian Gulf for the global American foreign policy strategy and thus the Administration attempted to find, develop and adopt various means and instruments of American presence in this turbulent part of the World. In the new world order the wider region of the Persian Gulf is included into the vital zone of American sphere of interest which the White House is determined and willing to defend using all available means, including the use of military force as well.
