The USA’s Behavioral Reason against Iran in Post-Barjam Era

Barjam (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) has opened a new season before Iran-USA relationships. Though the USA thinks that this agreement is focused on Iran’s nuclear plan, this agreement is practically is the linking loop in the chain of impeding Iran in both regional and internal arenas. In other words, the USA seeks to use Barjam as a strategic instrument to exert some pressure over Iran. This means that America also enjoys some benefit from Barjam. Then why does it do things which contradict Barjam either implicitly or explicitly. The present paper aims to answer this question, and in addition to discussing the strategic importance of Barjam for the USA, it examines the USA’s contradictory behaviors at three technical, political and strategic levels, and finally suggests an answer for the Iranian government to give in reaction to these policies.
