Abstract
JCPOA is a multilateral deal that was achieved with common efforts between the Islamic Republic of Iran and 5+1group. This deal, was an important achievement by pursuing intensive diplomacy for peace and international stability in international relations. JCPOA signers hoped that the deal can stabilize evolutions in the Middle East and be very useful for Islamic republic of Iran from political and economic perspectives. Although it seems that the implementation of the deal was useful for Iran and the International Community in a short time, with the United State withdrawal from JCPOA in president Trump administration and using maximum pressure policy against Iran, the positive effects of this deal was stopped. Therefore, the main question of this article is what are the political, economic and security consequences of the US withdrawal from JCPOA for the Islamic Republic of Iran? The purpose of this article is to focus only on the political and economic effects of this exit. The research method is descriptive and analytical, and the overall result shows that Trump's withdrawal from JCPOA and the application of maximum pressure policy, which has not been reduced until the beginning of the Biden era, has increased political economic and security threats against Iran in various domestic and foreign dimensions. With the escalation of the conflict between the countries of the Persian Gulf region, peace and stability in the region will be endangered, and Iran will look closer to the great powers of Russia and China in the east, and will distance itself from Europe.
