چکیده

برنامه جامع اقدام مشترک یا برجام توافقی بین ایران و اتحادیه اروپا و گروه ۱+۵ تنشی در سیاست‌های منطقه‌ای خاور میانه ایجاد کرد. ایران توانست بارفع تحریم‌های هسته‌ای و با دسترسی به بازار جهانی از استعداد اقتصادی خود استفاده نماید و به جلب سرمایه‌های خارجی دست یابد. اما رئیس جمهورجدید ایالت متحده آمریکا، دونالد ترامپ محدود کردن دستاوردهای اقتصادی ایران از برجام را از اهداف خود قرار داده است .حضور و جایگاه ایران درمنطقه به نوعی تحت عنوان یک رهبر ادامه دارد و ایران در درگیری‌های منطقه‌ای‌ نقش فعال دارد. رئیس جمهور ایران دکتر حسن روحانی که با شعار انتخاباتی «تعامل سازنده با جهان» به پیروزی رسید، همچنان تلاش می‌کند که به وعده‌های انتخاباتی خود، از جمله؛ اصلاحات اجتماعی و افزایش حقوق شهروندی، پایبند باشد. با وجودی که وی با مخالفت‌های زیادی از سوی اصولگرایان رو به رو بوده است. در حال حاضر دونالد ترامپ تمام تلاش خود را بهکار میگیرد که این توافق را از میان بردارد و «برجام» را نابود کند. این تحقیقات اثر برجام را بر وضعیت داخلی ایران و سیاست‌های منطقه‌ای برسیمی‌کند و سعی در پیشبینی عواقب نقض برجام دارد.

چکیده [English]

The 2015 nuclear deal, known as The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), signed by the Islamic Republic of Iran and the P5 +1 world powers changed the dynamics of geopolitics in the Middle East. Access to the global market and a relief from sanctions enabled Iran to tap into its vast economic potential and attract foreign investment. Since the election of President Trump, the US has tried to minimize Iran’s economic benefits from the nuclear deal. Iran’s presence as a leader in the region is increasingly being felt with its growing involvement in surrounding conflicts. In Iran, President Hassan Rouhani’s election promises for social reform and constructive dialogue with the world are being fulfilled albeit slowly. Now, President Trump has decided to kill the deal. In our research, we review the effects of the JCPOA on domestic politics in Iran and regional politics in the Middle East as we examine the potential consequences of President Trump and the United States abandoning the nuclear deal.
