Iran relations, and what isis means for u. S. iran relations. One of the important fault lines between the pragmotist, they have shown themselves willing to work with america against sunni radicals, whereas the hardliners in tehran has shown themselves willing to work with sunni radicals against the United States. Going back to 1979, there has been a lot of instances of u. S. iran convergence. They both had a common enemy in the soviet union and president reagan tried to work with iran against the soviet union and he was rebuffed, and in the early months of the revolution, the carter government tried to warn iran about saddam husseins impending invasion, and the theniranian government did not take that threat seriously, and they preferred to see the United States as an adversary. There certainly was a convergence of interest between the United States and iran, visavis the taliban, and that was a missed opportunity by the United States, and now we have isis which is a mutual adversary.
