Abstract
Aim. Identify economic and political factors that are beneficial to Iran — EAEU relations.
Tasks. Identify the prerequisites of the economic and political point of view, both in history and at the present stage, which would explain the prospects for rapprochement between Iran and the Eurasian Economic Union.
Methods. The methods of scientific research in the work should include analysis (to understand the impact of historical events in Iran), as well as the deductive method and synthesis, which will allow to identify a set of factors affecting the improvement of relations between Iran and the EAEU.
Results. The “White Revolution” promoted by the West in Iran was not viable and eventually pushed Iran to cho ose a more original way and ways of international cooperation, taking into account national specificity or following the policy of non-interference, which becomes the integration within the EAEU. Another favorable political aspect for Iran is cooperation with Russia , which strengthens confidence that the coun try will not be influenced by political activities and is based on mutual respect and equality. The current economic agreements demonstrate mutual willingness to develop the existing economic relations, as well as have a positive impact on foreign trade and allow taking into account each other’s mutual interests in economic terms, and contribute to the resolution of certain problems.
Conclusion. In view of the considered political and economic factors, the rapprochement between Iran and the EAEU can indeed be considered a promising and relevant political trend, despite the existing obstacles. Both sides are positive about strengthening their relations, so it is important to continue working to remove the existing obstacles to the development of cooperation.
