The Current Iran-US Relations
Since quite a long time, Iran has been against America and vice versa. With no stable relations politically and later economically, both the countries have bitter association with one another.
Iran and United States have been in a sour relationship since the Shah of Iran left, turning the
pro-American government to an anti-American government. USA being in Iran’s bad books, have made close American allies an enemy for Iran too, and what example is better than Saudi Arabia and Israel.
Back in 2006 US imposed sanctions on Iran against its uranium imports, which Iran had to use for generating electricity, however, US alleged Iran to use it for the purpose of nuclear weapons. The imported uranium was, however, under the given limits. The sanction was lifted by Obama in 2015, as USA wanted Iran to grow, but as Obama’s tenure ended and Donald Trump came as the President of United States, he called JCPOA as “the worst deal ever negotiated” and reinstated the sanctions on 8th May. Last year, after this all happened, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, has already said that “there will be no war, nor will we negotiate with the US and even if we ever – impossible as it is – negotiated with the US, it would never ever be with the current US administration.
Just today, again United States has come up with another move, where they will declare the ‘Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ as a terrorist organization, which was made back in 1979, as in to defend the religious management. In the same way, Hezbollah was also stated as a terrorist organization by the US, however it might barely effect Iran or the IRGCs.
Iran has yet not answered to this statement and this action, but it would only lead to more heated relations between the two countries.
