Being a vast country and population, energy consumption, especially oil, is the world's largest totally 18 million per day. The United States of America also is the second largest oil producing country in the world, but the United States of America’s oil production from year to year decreased, while fuel consumption for the transportation, industrial, residential and commercial, and electric power increased. To fulfill the needs of its oil, the United States of America needs more oil supplies are mostly imported from the Middle East. This is because the Middle East is a region that is rich in energy resources. To achieve that objective, the United States of Americs must ensure its hegemonic power remains strong and permanent in the region.

USA’s oil reserve decreased in the last few years but its consumption in transportation, industrial, residential and commercial, and electric power increased. USA needs oil supply from other regions especially the West Asia and Iran because oil resources in this region are more abundant than other regions. However, USA’s effort to tighten its hegemony in West Asia faced great challenge from Iran’s anti-USA policy since 1979. This article analyzes those counter-hegemony strategies used by Iran, under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for the first term of his leadership (2005-2009), against USA’s hegemonic expansion in this region. This study uses descriptive and analytical qualitative approach to understand and evaluate those strategies used by Ahmadinejad. By using counter-hegemony theory as a tool of analysis, this study found that Iran, under Ahmadinejad's leadership, employs war of position against USA hegemony. This study also found that Iran’s counter-hegemony efforts are a form of balance of power against USA in the West Asia region
