Abstracts

EN

This article is focused on causes of perception and misperception between the European Union and United States of America in its policies toward Iran. Misperception caused derailing of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) by the USA withdrawal from it. Tracing misperception and perception in policies and strategies to Iran should contribute for better understanding complicated and contradictory relations between the West and Iran.

Celem artykułu jest wskazanie głównych przyczyn (błędnego) postrzegania w polityce USA i Unii Europejskiej wobec Iranu. Błędne postrzeganie intencji Iranu było jedną z głównych przyczyn wykolejenia porozumienia nuklearnego JCPOA było wycofanie się z niego USA. Analizowanie (błędnego) postrzegania ma istotny wpływ na formułowanie polityk i strategii wobec Iranu umożliwia głębsze spojrzenie w skomplikowane relacje pomiędzy Zachodem a Iranem
