[MES Forum] New MESC Blog Post: A History of U.S.-Iranian Relations (Part II)

[McClimans, Melinda]

Dear Middle East Studies Forum colleagues,
We invite you to read and share the latest post from the Middle East Studies Center blog: “A History of U.S.-Iranian Relations (Part II)” by MESC intern Ian Staker.
Building on Part I, this in-depth article examines why repeated efforts at U.S.-Iranian diplomacy have faltered over the past four decades. It explores the lasting impact of the Iran-Iraq War, Iran’s “forward defense” strategy and regional proxy networks, the nuclear standoff and the JCPOA, domestic pressures within Iran, and the escalation of tensions since October 2023.
Read the post here:

This historical perspective offers useful context and we would welcome any feedback or questions you might have. And a quick reminder: Our welcome back breakfast<https://mesc.osu.edu/events/breakfast-and-networking-welcome-back> is on Monday morning at 8:30 in the Crane Cafe. Please join us!
Best wishes,
Melinda
