The U.S.-Iran rapprochement dilemma

International relations, the term used to describe the relationships between sovereign states and nations, are currently undergoing a relatively profound transformation. At the same time as many international problems linked to the lagging effects of the decomposition of empires persist, the rise of Asia raises the hopes of some and the concerns of others, yet this region today constitutes the central chessboard where the great geopolitical and strategic lessons are being applied. The collusion of these lessons generates tension and repugnance, in stark contrast to the principles of International Law. If U.S.-Iranian relations do indeed rhyme with this failure, we can nonetheless observe, through close examination, a keen desire to reduce these hazards to a promising situation. It is from this perspective that this book sets out to examine the relationship between the United States and Iran, to highlight the seeds that contribute to the paradox of this relationship, and finally to define the policy that could be used to achieve normalization of relations between the two.
