Iran’s roads not taken: Tehran, Washington, and the failures that led to war

By: Nasr, Vali.
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Foreign Affairs Description: 104(5), Sep-Oct, 2025: p.122-135. In: Foreign AffairsSummary: The 12-day war in June, which saw the United States join Israel in bombing Iran, was the culmination of four decades of mistrust, antipathy, and confrontation. Since its inception in 1979, the Islamic Republic has not wavered in its anti-Americanism, and the United States has unfailingly responded by exerting greater pressure on Iran. The two have come close to outright conflict before. In 1987 and 1988, the United States destroyed offshore oil platforms and Iranian naval vessels and then mistakenly shot down an Iranian passenger plane. Iran interpreted those acts as the opening salvos of an undeclared war. – Reproduced https://www.foreignaffairs.com/iran/irans-roads-not-taken-nasr
