Abstract

Aim. To identify the main characteristics of relations between the USA and the Islamic Republic of Iran after D. Trump came to power. The main focus is on Washington’s withdrawl from the “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” (JCPOA) or the Iran Nuclear Program. This agreement was reached between Iran and a group of six world powers P5+1 that includes Russia, the United States, China, the United Kingdom, Germany and France in 2015. Procedure and research methods. Civilizational analysis, historical, system-structural and formal-logical methods were applied. Results. The article examines the reasons that prompted Trump to withdraw from the JCPOA, despite the negative reaction of the entire world community, including close NATO allies. The respective position of the European Union, first of all, Germany, France and the United Kingdom were analysed. While maintaining their commitment to the JCPOA, these countries, in fact, opposed Washington and offered their own program for preserving trade and economic relations with Iran. Theoretical / practical relevance. It is concluded that the current crisis and escalation of tensions in the American-Iranian relations caused by the unilateral withdrawal of the USA from the nuclear agreement have a negative and highly destabilising effect on the situation not only in Iran, but also in the entire Middle East region.
