Introduction
Iran is always considered one of the most important issues in the US foreign policy. The political, cultural and economic geography of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Middle East region has created a special attraction for the United States of America, and during the last forty-four years, four different approaches have been used regarding Iran, which can be summarized as He pointed out the approach of compromise, the approach of war with Iran, the approach of changing the regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and finally the approach of accepting Iran as a global nuclear power and adopting deterrence against it. On the other hand, after the JCPOA agreement, the Islamic Republic of Iran also discussed important issues such as the lifting of sanctions, the discussion and review of the withdrawal of the United States from the JCPOA, the creation of a mechanism to maintain trade exchanges with the European Union, the preservation and maintenance of the missile power of the Islamic Republic of Iran and review The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) was centralized, which was of particular importance.
2.Theoretical Framework
Emphasizing the authenticity of power in human relations, this view considers being armed as a factor of peace and stability. During the era when the United States of America had a monopoly on nuclear weapons, there was no systematic strategic theory of deterrence, before that, the policy of deterrence or deterrence emerged as suggested by international relations thinker George Kennan. He neither emphasized nor rejected the means of blocking penetration, but believed that these tools, along with the existing political and economic levers, form a part of the diplomatic tools. In July 2015, the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council along with Germany reached a historic agreement with Iran to control and monitor Iran's nuclear activities. In exchange for controlling and monitoring Iran's nuclear program, it was decided to lift many sanctions against Iran. The JCPOA caused the sanctions to disappear and provided the ground for the entry of target countries and foreign investors, and finally attracted billions of dollars of money for Iran.
3.Methodology
The method of collecting sources in this article is library and descriptive analytical method is used to review and analyze the materials.
4. Results & Discussion
Iran's strategy based on expansion-oriented and conservation-oriented from the perspective of deterrence Foreign policy, if it is based on specific and achievable goals, a calculated plan and roadmap, is in accordance with the national and environmental capabilities and requirements, and is finally adjusted and implemented based on a precise and appropriate strategy, it will naturally be fruitful. . A quick review of the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran during the last four decades reveals the existence of two main views in the national environment and its organizational environment. The expansion-oriented perspective, which in a word is the security-oriented approach, and the growth-oriented perspective, which is, in a word, the development-oriented approach. Examples and measures of interest in the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran The most important issues on which the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran was focused are categorized at the international level. In addition, the topics that have been placed at this level have been involved in the most changes and ups and downs, we can mention things such as sanctions, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), missile defense capability and human rights; which are expected to be among the main foreign policy agendas of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
5.Conclusions & Suggestions
The volume of economic exchanges with neighboring countries was increasing rapidly, so that according to statistics, the export of Iranian goods to 15 neighboring countries from the beginning of September to the end of February 1400 was more than 44,529,185 tons worth 15 billion and 67 million. And it became 244 thousand 625 dollars, which recorded a growth of 44% in weight and 48% in value. As a result of the policy of attention and cooperation with neighboring countries, Iran's trade (exports and imports) with its neighbors reached more than 100 million tons of goods and the value reached 51 billion dollars, while the total volume of trade between Iran and European countries did not reach one billion dollars. Also, the Islamic Republic of Iran increased its support for the resistance axis. Iran is no longer interested in revitalizing the JCPOA, although negotiations continue without reaching an agreement between Iran and the other members of the 4+1. Iran's foreign policy has become aggressive again and has changed its direction from the perspective of the West towards the East and the neighboring countries and the axis of resistance. As mentioned, Iran must be able to implement a single consensus among its allies to achieve its goals in foreign policy.
