The author describes how American foreign policy concepts worked in Iran, and opened a window into the country for American oil industries. The importance and relevance of the article lie in the fact that the players have not changed significantly, nor have the rules of the game and the actions they evoke changed much. Although the foreign policy toolkit of the US has been modernized, very often old methods are still practiced in the region, thus the study and analysis of those are very valuable today. The author tries to identify the problems of Iran in the second half of the 20th century, to study them in parallel with American foreign policy concepts, to present and analyze how American concepts paved the way for the expansionist policy of the United States. The key finding of the research shows that every American foreign policy concept was basically implemented only in case of the continuity of the power of the same party. Thus, Republican D. Eisenhower promoted the concept of supporting American oil tycoons. After him, Democrat J.F. Kennedy did not continue this approach in full, but only retained some elements. J.F. Kennedy believed that if the Iranian government was headed by a skilled prime minister, an adherent of Western values, who could properly manage the Iranian economy, then Iran would become a regional ally for the United States rather than a dependent country. After J.F. Kennedy, L. Johnson continued the foreign policy approach regarding Iran by promoting the country’s reformation through the White revolution. However, as history proved, the White Revolution failed to solve all the socioeconomic problems of Iran in the short term. Instead, the monarchy faced new and already fatal problems. The sources for this paper were the archives of the US presidents, the archives of the US State Department, the memoirs of a number of politicians, the correspondence between the US presidents and the Shah, as well as the Iranian press of that time. The author has applied the historical-comparative method, using the principles of content analysis.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Исследование посвящено анализу американского влияния в Иране после Второй мировой войны. Автор характеризует особенности реализации американских концепций в Иране, рассматривая то, как США содействовали проникновению в эту страну своих нефтяных корпораций, что не было возможно на более ранних этапах. Актуальность статьи обусловлена тем, что до настоящего времени акторы существенно не изменились, как и правила игры и мотивируемые ими действия. Несмотря на то, что инструментарий США был модернизирован, очень часто в регионе используются старые методы, изучение и анализ которых сегодня очень важны. Преследуемая автором цель заключается в оценке шагов, предпринятых Соединенными Штатами для усиления своего влияния в Иране после Второй мировой войны. Автор выявляет проблемы Ирана во второй половине ХХ в., изучая их параллельно с американскими концепциями, а также анализирует, как внешнеполитические концепции открывали путь для экспансионистской политики США. Каждая следующая администрация, приходя к власти, стремилась разработать собственную внешнеполитическую стратегию, которая отличалась бы от курса предыдущей администрации, особенно если она представляла позицию противоположной партии. Так, республиканец Д. Эйзенхауэр продвигал концепцию поддержки американских нефтяных консорциумов, открыв им дверь на Ближний Восток. После него демократ Дж. Кеннеди не стремился продолжать политику предшественника, хотя сохранил некоторые ее элементы. Дж. Кеннеди полагал, что если бы иранское правительство возглавил умелый премьер-министр, близкий к западной системе ценностей и способный правильно управлять экономикой Ирана, то для США в регионе Иран стал бы партнером, а не подопечным государством. После Дж. Кеннеди Л. Джонсон фактически продолжил политику в отношении Ирана, заключающуюся в содействии реформированию страны посредством «Белой революции». Однако, как показала история, «Белая революция» не решила в краткосрочной перспективе всех социально-экономических проблем Ирана, а перед монархией встали новые проблемы, ставшие впоследствии роковыми. Источниками работы послужили архивы президентов США, архив Госдепартамента США, мемуары ряда политиков, переписка президентов США и шаха Ирана, а также иранская пресса того времени. Методологической основой исследования послужил историко-сравнительный метод с использованием элементов контент-анализа.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Iran</kwd><kwd>US</kwd><kwd>Mohammed Reza Pahlavi</kwd><kwd>Harry Truman</kwd><kwd>Dwight Eisenhower</kwd><kwd>John Kennedy</kwd><kwd>Middle East</kwd><kwd>oil industry</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Иран</kwd><kwd>США</kwd><kwd>Мохаммед Реза Пехлеви</kwd><kwd>Гарри Трумэн</kwd><kwd>Дуайт Эйзенхауэр</kwd><kwd>Джон Кеннеди</kwd><kwd>Ближний Восток</kwd><kwd>нефтяная промышленность</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Abrahamian, E.
