Abstract :

International sanctions are one of the main tools in the foreign policy of governments to influence and change the behavior of other countries. Iran, as one of the countries that has been pressured by extensive international sanctions, is looking for new methods in an effort to circumvent these sanctions. This article aims to investigate the role of Afghanistan's political-economic relations in circumventing international sanctions against Iran. The main question of the article is: Can Afghanistan's economic and political relations serve as an alternative path for Iran to bypass sanctions? In response to the question of the article, this hypothesis is proposed that the development of political-economic relations with Afghanistan can help Iran in reducing its dependence on international markets and obtaining new economic resources. The research method used in this article is descriptive-analytical using articles and interviews with experts. The findings showed that Iran's foreign policy should pay more attention to Afghanistan's issues and reduce the intensity of security in this country. Iran can also be used as a bridge for Afghanistan's exports and imports due to Afghanistan's lack of access to the Arabian Sea and as a transit corridor for global trade.
