Abstract
After a long process of successful integration, European Union has faced several political, economic and security challenges in recent years. The EU financial, economic, immigration and security crisis are at the head of these crises which the overall output is the revival and reinforcement of populist parties in the European political arena. The significance of the phenomenon, along with all its consequences, relates to its effects on the values and political system governing the European countries and the great goal of European integration including EU foreign policy. This article seeks to examine the effect of the revival and empowerment of populist movements on the European Foreign and Security Policy towards Iran. The hypothesis of the authors is that, based on the evidence available, the populist parties in power have so far not exceeded the existing standards of EU foreign and security policy towards Iran. In the other words, the emergence and empowerment of populist parties in Europe has not had any effect on changing the existing European approach towards Iran. The article has used the library method to collect the data and descriptive and analytical method has been used to assess it.
