In recent decades the events such as the Islamic revolution in Iran, Israel invasion of Lebanon and Bombardment of Libya by United States lead to the increase of Islamic organization in the US.
The findings of research suggest that the Islamic Republic of Iran has capacities such as rich culture and civilization to influence US Islamic organization, and to attract US Muslims by using digital media.
