US-Iran Relations: Prospects for Regional Stability

This study aims to explore the US-Iran relations and its impact on the regional stability. USA and Iran are considered two most opponent forces of the modern age especially after the Islamic Revolution of Iran. Iran declares USA as the “Great Satan” while US considers Iran as the proponent of terrorism in the world generally and in Middle East particularly. A thaw in their hostility was seen under the Obama administration but soon it disappeared with the advent of Donald Trump as the New President of USA. This study is qualitative in nature and secondary sources are used to analyze. US-Saudi close ties, Saudi-Iran regional hostility, Iran-Israel long lifted enmity and US-Israel long-term relations played an important role in US-Iran relations. This study recommends that the solution of the mutual clashes of Iran-Saudi Arabia and Iran-Israel is necessary to establish regional stability in the Middle East.
