Over the last century, the media has been one of the most important areas of competition for world powers, and especially during the last two decades, cyberspace has entered the field of influencing international relations as one of the fastest growing segments of the media. Cyberspace is a relatively new term used to describe a wide range of networking tools or technologies. Aspects of the impact of media and cyberspace on foreign policy, due to its role in relations between governments, international organizations and politicians, is one of the most influential and challenging areas that has provided the basis for reflecting their priorities, values and ideas. Given the importance of the nuclear program in US strategy toward Iran, this article seeks to answer the question of what was the US media strategy towards Iran's nuclear program between 2017 and 2020. The present study seeks to use theories related to cyberspace to examine the thematic analysis of the US media and cyberspace strategy on JCPOA between 2017 and 2020. To answer this question, using a qualitative method and using network analysis of themes, an attempt has been made to extract the US media strategy from the most important social network used by Donald Trump. The findings of this study identify six main themes in the US media strategy on the issue of JCPOA and Iran: "threats and intimidation", "humiliation and insult", "recourse to the law", "boasting", "frustration and acknowledging "Defeat" and "Iranophobia".
