Sustained confrontation, punctuated by nuclear diplomacy and a major international agreement
Iran hacia Estados Unidos
-85Iranian government policy toward the United States has included the 1979 seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and support for regional armed groups that have attacked U.S. forces. Iran also negotiated the 2015 nuclear agreement with the United States and other powers, while disputes over its nuclear activities and regional policy have remained central.
Estados Unidos hacia Iran
-85The United States severed diplomatic relations with Iran in 1980 and has imposed extensive sanctions. It negotiated the 2015 nuclear agreement but withdrew from it in 2018 and restored sanctions. The 2020 U.S. killing of Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani further intensified bilateral tensions.
Relación general
-85The enduring relationship is substantially adversarial, shaped by the absence of diplomatic relations, extensive U.S. sanctions, security confrontations, and disputes over Iran's nuclear activities and regional role. The 2015 nuclear agreement demonstrated that direct negotiation was possible, but the U.S. withdrawal and renewed sanctions underscored the fragility of that cooperation.
