The United States (U.S.) and the United Kingdom (U.K.), as preeminent global powers and permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, sustain a vital partnership within the international system. The Persian Gulf, distinguished as a strategically pivotal region due to its abundant energy reserves, exemplifies their concerted efforts to ensure energy security – a critical issue of the 21st century. This study utilizes qualitative content analysis to explore the political, security, and military dimensions of the U.S.-U.K. strategic alignment, with the Persian Gulf serving as a focal case study. Specifically, the research investigates how these dimensions underpin the balanced relationship between the two nations in the context of energy security in the region. The central research question is: What specific political, security, and military dimensions define the strategic coordination between the U.S. and U.K. in the Persian Gulf? Related sub-questions examine their shared global interests in energy security policies within this region and assess the U.K.’s security and military contributions in the Persian Gulf as a mechanism supporting U.S. deterrence strategies in areas such as the South China Sea and Eastern Europe. Findings reveal that a primary objective for these powers is to enhance security, influence, and authority, as reflected in their energy security strategies. These strategies prioritize a blend of policies aimed at managing global energy resources and markets, with control over international transit routes identified as a fundamental instrument for achieving national objectives. Consequently, through strategic reassessment and adaptation, the U.S. and U.K. have forged robust ties with key energy suppliers, notably Saudi Arabia, navigating ideological disparities to secure energy-related advantages. These relationships significantly shape the security and strategic frameworks of both nations, particularly in the Persian Gulf.
