In our special episode of Head on History we examine the history of US-Iran relations. In light of the increased tension on the Golan Heights and Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iran Deal we look at the historical context. We examine the source of the hostility and mistrust between the two nations, going back to CIA backed coup in the 1950s through the Iranian Revolution, the hostage crisis, and even the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980’s. We take a close look at how the built up resentment has formed an orthodoxy within American foreign policy and it’s crippling effect on diplomacy. We then look at the origin of the Iran Deal or the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and its implications for stability in the region.
