Abstract

The subject of this article is to examine the components affecting the creation of international and regional tensions after JCPOA. So the research question is what are the causes of regional and international tensions in the post-conflict period? And it tests the hypothesis that the US withdrawal from the JCPOA and its inaction has created new regional and international tensions for the Islamic Republic of Iran. The results of the study show that after the US unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA agreement during Trump's presidency and the return of US unilateral and secondary sanctions, in addition to stopping the process of de-escalation, tensions between Iran and the Middle East and Western powers increased. Thus, the United States' non-compliance with an international treaty has led to regional and global anarchy and tensions between countries. The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical qualitative and the data are collected in a library method using phishing.
