No contemporary foreign policy issues captures more headlines or elicits more debate than US relations with the largest country in the Middle East and potential nuclear power, the Islamic Republic of Iran. Colonels Douglass and Hays researched the history of the Persians and talked with noted experts to analyze why Iran acts the way it does toward the United States and how we can use that knowledge to develop a strategy based on potential vulnerabilities created by Iran’s history and the nature of the country and its people. Current opportunities are addressed in their short-term strategy proposal as well as a long-term strategic outlook.
