Abstract

This  paper  seeks  to  develop  the  rhetorical  construction  that  leads  Iran  to transform itself from a Western ally “ally” country to an international threat. It seeks to highlight  how  hostilities  that  existed  only  between  Iran  and  the  United States  were produced  as  a  "threat"  to  the  entire  "international  community."  To  the  extent  that  the United States plays a leading role in this, a country perceived as dangerous to the United States  poses  a  "public  threat."  The  article  guides  its  argument  among  theorists  who denaturalize  this  construction  of  values as  reliable  and  question,  through  the  Post Colonial  Theory,  made  possible  mainly  by  the  advent  of  colonialism,  how  it  persists being able to embrace the cultural domination of marginalized peoples.
