IRANIAN DIRECTION OF THE BRITISH FOREIGN POLICY IN 2010-2022
The article characterizes the bilateral relations between the United Kingdom and the Islamic Republic of Iran in the period from 2010 to 2022 through the prism of political, economic and humanitarian spheres. A small forecast is also given in the work. During studying documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Parliament of the Great Britain and some articles the author used a political-descriptive method to reveal the completeness of the content of relations, to explain the causes, consequences and forecasts of some events - content and event analyzes. The basis of the study are such principles as objectivity, systematic approach and historicism. The article shows the ups and downs of bilateral relations between the United Kingdom and Iran from 2010 to 2022. The author reveals the main political events, highlights the nature of trade relations and illustrates the violations of the rights and freedoms of British citizens in Iran. Due to the “attachment” of British foreign policy researchers to the Brexit process, the Middle East direction of the United Kingdom's foreign policy was poorly studied in domestic and foreign sciences. That is why, it is necessary, with the help of all available information, especially the documents of the Foreign Office, to give a comprehensive description of the relations between Iran and the UK in this period.
