The Islamic Republic of Iran´s ongoing nuclear programme has provoked a major and menacing crisis in its relations with the US and the other Western powers. Ali Ansari, a briton of iranian origin, argues that the crisis is a symptom of broader, long-term fissures in US-Iran relations, and in "Confronting Iran" he seeks to disentangle the myths that are at the bottom of this gulf in understanding which is compounded by the nature of the two states, their foreign policy establishments and the fraught history of their relations since the 1979 revolution.
