Since the Iranian Revolution, Iran has been America’s most consistent enemy. Strangely, however, many U.S. policies in the region have ended up helping Iran, from toppling the Taliban, to overthrowing Saddam Hussein, to signing and then withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal. Why does the United States aid its adversary? What is Biden’s approach to Iran and how does the Biden doctrine differ from his predecessors’ policies? Can Biden avoid these missteps? How will the Iranian protests and the Ukraine War shape American policy toward Iran?
