Rather than objectively describing the actual political situation in the Middle East, the notion of a fundamental Iranian threat is being used to continue unconditional Western support for increasingly unstable regimes. Moreover, the overstatement of the threat posed by Iran is also being used as a convenient excuse for political inflexibility and stagnating reform processes throughout the region.
原教旨主义的伊朗威胁论并不客观地描述中东的实际政治形势，而是被用来继续无条件支持日益风雨飘摇的政权。而且，过度渲染伊朗构成的威胁也是被用来整个中东地区政治僵化和改革进程停滞的方便的借口而已。
