Abstract
. Among the internal elements, the ideology of the critics is emphasized, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is emphasized among the activists. During this period, while criticizing the foreign policy of the previous government, a new foreign policy was introduced in the framework of constructive interaction with the world under the title of moderation discourse, the culmination of which should be seen in the JCPOA. However, in addition to opportunities, the new approach in Rouhani's foreign policy also created great challenges. The main question of this article is: How have internal components and activists influenced the foreign policy of the Rouhani government in the JCPOA issue? According to the hypothesis that follows this question, the role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in advancing the JCPOA on the one hand and the role of the ideological groups criticizing and opposing the government on the other hand have played an interactive role in the JCPOA issue. According to the results of the research, Rouhani's foreign policy, which was accompanied by success and then many problems, has been affected by the aforementioned factors in various ways.
