Abstract
Iran-U. S ties have been hostile, since 1979 revolution when Iranian
Clergy after around seven decades’ destitutions, succeeded in getting the
political authority under the leadership of the exiled leader Ayatullah
Roohullah Khomeini. Before 1979 revolution Iran was ruled by a brutal,
autocratic and pro U.S Shah, Muhammad Reza Pahlavi, who was a harsh
opponent of the clergy because of his liberal, secular and westernized
thoughts. Thence since the 1979 Iranian revolution Iran-US relations has
not been restored because the clergy Government emerged a force with an
anti-US sentiment
