This study examines foreign investment patterns in Iran during the initial post-JCPOA implementation period (۲۰۱۶-۲۰۱۸), analyzing the unprecedented economic opportunities and strategic developments that emerged following sanctions relief. Using quantitative economic analysis combined with strategic management perspectives, this research demonstrates that Iran achieved remarkable economic transformation, with FDI increasing by ۶۴% in ۲۰۱۶ and reaching $۵ billion in ۲۰۱۷, representing the highest levels in decades. The analysis reveals that Iran ranked as the second-largest FDI destination in the MENA region during this period, attracting major international partnerships across energy, automotive, manufacturing, and infrastructure sectors. Through comprehensive sectoral and geographical analysis, this study identifies key success factors including strategic joint ventures, regulatory modernization through FIPPA implementation, and the development of special economic zones that facilitated $۲.۱۵ billion in new investment commitments in Q۱ ۲۰۱۶ alone. The research provides valuable insights for international business strategy and economic policy, demonstrating how sustained international cooperation can unlock significant economic potential in emerging markets.
