Since Biden moved into the White House at the beginning of 2021，U.S.Middle East policy is generally considered to have undergone a major change，which means that the chaos and uncertainty created during the four years of the Trump administration are likely to come to an end，that U.S.Middle East policy will return to rationality and multilateralism，and that a more robust policy-making team that is more in line with traditional diplomatic concepts is likely to bring some promise to the U.S.Middle East policy that has lost ground in recent years. But one year after Biden entered the White House，his Middle East policy can be seen as largely unchanged from Trump’s framework and policy philosophy. Compared with previous administrations，the Biden team seems to be less enthusiastic about Middle East affairs，except for the Iranian nuclear issue and Afghanistan，and appears to be more reluctant than aggressive in other Middle East affairs. Even on the key Iranian nuclear issue，the Biden team is neither as aggressive as the Obama administration in demanding cooperation in a multilateralist manner，nor as aggressive as the Trump administration in its unilateralist approach to contain Iran’s nuclear development. When it comes to the Afghan withdrawal，the Biden team is essentially following through on completing the established policy lines and goals of both the Obama and Trump administrations without trying to do as much as the previous two administrations to maintain local stability as well as U.S.influence after the withdrawal. In short，the Biden administration’s Middle East policy in its first year gives the impression of being unmotivated and ineffective，with a sense of “going with the flow”. While this situation reflects the irreversibility of the overall strategic trend of U.S.contraction in the Middle East，it is also related to the Biden administration’s own characteristics and policy orientation.
