Abstract

The United States probably has worse relations with Iran than with any other country in the world. Though there has been reason for distrust, Iran has more long-term potential as a trading partner and economic and political ally than any other country in the Middle East save Israel. Moreover, making peace is up to the United States. For all their bellicose statements, Iranian leaders have shown many signs of a willingness to compromise and reestablish a relationship. Iran rates high in overall stability, economic potential, and the prospects for compatibility. Unlike most of its neighbors, Iran has settled its internal struggles and reemerged with functional republican institutions.
