Iran: U.S. Policy and Options

Abstract

This CRS analyzes developments in U.S. policy toward Iran, including existing U.S. sanctions in force against that country. The report discusses changes in Iranian policy and in U.S. policy toward Iran since the May 1997 election of a relative moderate, Mohammad Khatemi, as Iran's President. The report analyzes the outstanding issues that divide the two countries, and conditions under which Iran might agree to U.S. overtures to improve relations with Iran's government. The report will be updated to reflect major developments in U.S.-Iran relations or in response to legislative developments. See also, CRS Issue Brief IB93033.
