Abstract

These sanctions, which started in the 1980s and expanded during the following decades, practically became one of the fundamental challenges for Iran's economy and foreign policy. During these years, each of the governments followed a specific approach towards the West according to their own conditions and slogans. The government of "Tadbir and Omid" negotiated the nuclear issue with the slogan of lifting the economic sanctions of the West. For this purpose, the 11th government has a special position; Because it is the only government in the Islamic Republic that has based its governance on foreign policy.
