A REAPROXIMAÇÃO ENTRE ESTADOS UNIDOS DA AMÉRICA E A REPÚBLICA ISLÂMICA DO IRÃ: UMA ANÁLISE HISTÓRICA A PARTIR DOS PARES PRESIDENCIAIS
Palavras-chave:
Irã, Estados Unidos da América, Golfo Pérsico, Acordo Nuclear, Oriente MédioResumo
O Golfo Pérsico possui caráter prioritário nas agendas internacionais dos EUA e do Irã, países-chave nas relações internacionais da região, mas que possuem um histórico de litígios. Visto que, em 2013, durante os governos de Barack Obama e de Hassan Rouhani, foi assinado um acordo de caráter inédito entre o Irã e o P5+1 (Estados Unidos, França, Inglaterra, China, Rússia e Alemanha), torna-se útil analisar os motivos que levaram a uma perceptível alteração da política tomada previamente. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é compreender como se desenrolaram as relações entre os dois países após o fim da Guerra Fria, a partir da hipótese de que somente em 2013 houve uma coincidência de governantes interessados em alterar o status quo da relação, o que efetivou o processo de reaproximação entre eles. O método escolhido é o da análise de política externa dos pares presidenciais dos dois países, observando o interesse de cada gestão de se reaproximar ou não. Buscase concluir, então, que a reaproximação que acontece é deliberada por Obama e Rouhani, sendo seu indicador os acordos nucleares do P5+1, que abre espaço para maior cooperação entre os dois países no Golfo Pérsico.
