The foreign policymaking process of countries، especially the influential powers in international politics، has always attracted the attention of researchers and enthusiasts in international studies. One such process pertains to Britain، because of its international status and clout in the region surrounding the Islamic Republic of Iran. Despite the research interest of many experts and scholars in Iran on Britain’s foreign policy، compared with that of the United States، few have bothered to carry out scientific studies on its foreign policymaking process. Nevertheless، the main question is what factors and variables of British foreign policy have had the greatest weight on Iran in recent years? And the next question is what are the British foreign policy directions regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran? Clearly، if the effective variables are correctly identified، on the one hand، it will proportionately strengthen our ability to predict that country’s foreign policy moves and، on the other، increase our capacity to possibly impact this process.
