THE ENDLESS CONTENTIOUS RELATION BETWEEN U.S. AND IRAN
THE ENDLESS CONTENTIOUS RELATION BETWEEN U.S. AND IRAN
The critical relation between Iran and Us is drawing attention from the whole international community that observes anguished the evolution of their actions. Their relation is at the peak of the tension and the future does not look untroubled. On the one hand Americans think that one of the biggest threat to the global stability is Iran, as results from the December 2007 American Gallup Pool, and on the other hand Iran fears a possible war from America, as he possesses significant oil reserve and he is one of the powerful region of the Middle West. “The deterioration of relations is not a startling new phenomenon, but rather the culmination of decades of perceived betrayals, open challenges and mutual distrust” (A. H. Cook, J. Roshandel,2009).
Today the Iran Us situation looks irresolvable and the tension is stable. Neoclassical constructivism gives an explanation of why their relation is destined not to improve but to stabilize or even to degenerate. Wendt theory of “intersubjective meaning” says that the first encounter of two states will dictate their future relations. When two states meet, they are in a blank state. Whether the state will be cooperative or contentious depends in fact on the intersubjective meaning that refers to a shared understanding of and belief about meaning, significance, and the nature of things. As the case for Iran and Us, when the first meeting is particularly negative, as for the 1953 coup, the relation that at first was only based on political and economical diversity develop and start to be perceived as an ancient war rooted in bloodlines and in myths.
The 1953 Iranian Coup with the Us support was the first episode that signed negatively their relation. “The American role in the 1953 Coup will forever be viewed by Iranians as the concrete evidence of American imperialistic intentions toward the Middle East in general and Iran in particular” (Roshandel J., Cook H.A.,
