Abstract
“Iran nuclear deal” and the “P5+1” countries is of the important political events in the regional and even international levels, which can overshadow and affect Iran's relations with many governments. This event which in the context has been mentioned as "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” (JCPOA), is a «historical agreement», which has sparked the reaction of many countries, particularly great powers of the international system. Therefore, with consideration to the presence of Russia in Iran's nuclear program and its special role as one of the five permanent members of the “UN Security Council” on how to advance the case, this article studies the policies and orientations of Russia against “Iran Nuclear Deal” and the “P5 + 1” countries, and tries to discuss the practical dimensions of the foreign policy orientation of this country. The main question of this article is: What approach has Russia taken towards “Iran Nuclear deal” and how its orientation has been during the “post-Nuclear Deal” (Post-JCPOA) with respect to Iran? Also this hypothesis is raised that, meanwhile; Russia has a positive attitude towards “Nuclear Agreement ”in order to maintain its economic and political interests and status, both in Iran and the regional as well as international arenas, it has developed a bilateral and multilateral cooperation with Iran in various aspects with a pragmatic and cautious approach. To study the mentioned idea, first, the theoretical foundations related to foreign policy orientation of the governments and the Economic sanctions are discussed, and then Russia's policy towards "Nuclear Deal" and the factors affecting its formation will be analyzed. The method of research in this article is descriptive-analytical and it was written through using library resources and Cyberspace.
