This article analyzes the reciprocal and often conflicting effects between the foreign policy approaches of the Islamic Republic of Iran towards the international system and the goals of the country’s economic development programs. This research is based on the hypothesis that there is a fundamental dichotomy between the idealistic and independence-oriented principles of Iran’s foreign policy (based on the negation of domination and the preservation of political independence) and the pragmatic requirements of economic development (requiring constructive interaction, capital attraction, and technology transfer from the global economy). Using a descriptive-analytical method and a documentary review of the five-year development programs after the revolution, it is concluded that strategies based on confrontation and tension in the international arena have directly led to the formation and intensification of widespread economic sanctions. These sanctions, as a powerful intervening variable, have systematically challenged the achievement of the macro-goals of the development programs by creating restrictions on access to financial resources, export markets, and advanced technologies, and have led to the inefficiency of some economic policies. In contrast, discourses such as “resistance economics” have been presented as a solution to reduce this vulnerability, but this approach itself requires a level of intelligent international engagement to be fully successful. The overall result indicates a structural misalignment between political and economic goals that has imposed significant opportunity costs on Iran’s sustainable development process.
