4- Iran-USA relations during the Hashemi Rafsanjani Era

With the election of Hashmi Rafsanjani to the presidency of the Islamic Republic of Iran in July 1989, the hope of deterioration in USA-Iranian relations increased. Atatullah Mohajerani, the Vice-Presidential Parliamentary of him, on April 26th 1990, in a brief article in the Intelligence Journal, spoke of the need for direct negotiations with the United States. Iran helped liberate western hostages in Lebanon at some point, but this goodwill was not met with USA mutual goodwill. Hence, the atmosphere of mistrust and suspicion once again ruled over IranUSA relations. The United States made the normalization of relations with the Islamic Republic conditional on changing Iran's behavior in nuclear activities, Middle East peace, terrorism, and human rights (Dehghani Firouzabadi, 2009). One of Hashemi's specific goals was to change America's view of Iran (Milani, 2004: 192).

On the whole, George W. Bush's foreign policy toward Iran seems moderate compared to previous governments. This period can be divided into three periods. One, the continuation of Reagan's policy based on the balance of power policy between Iran and Iraq. This policy continued from the beginning of the Bush administration until the invasion of Kuwait. Second, the policy of neither peace nor war relates to the beginning and end of the Persian Gulf war. At this point, Washington's policy toward Iran was heavily influenced by the Persian Gulf crisis and the global breakdown of the Soviet Union. Three, Iran's control and containment policy, which was followed by the recession of the Persian Gulf crisis and the collapse of the Soviet Union. At this time, US politicians began whispering about the dangers of Iran and the need to confront it, enacting the Iran-Iraq Arms Prohibition Act at the end of the Bush administration. Therefore, the danger of rebuilding Iran's defense and defense capabilities for US interests in the Persian Gulf region was discussed. This boycott and the necessity of confrontation should be seen as the cornerstone of USA bilateral confrontation policy toward Iran, which lasted for nearly a decade and entered a new phase of internationalization with sanctions during the Bush era (Khosravi, 2011: 137-138).

Overall, George W. Bush's foreign policy toward Iran seems moderate and moderate compared to previous governments. This new approach by the Bush administration to Iran, which was deeply rooted in world and regional developments, was also reflected in the Iranian government's attitude and behavior. The following components had the following effects: (a) Iran's role in the liberation of western hostages in Lebanon (2); (b) Iran's position on the Persian Gulf crisis; (C) The policy of détente (p; 160-168, Ibid.).

After him, Bill Clinton came to power. Major issues raised by the Clinton administration in US foreign policy were democracy, human rights, and the pursuit of economic issues (Hamidinia 2005: 642). How to deal with Iran formed one of the most important issues in Clinton's foreign policy. In 1993, the result of these discussions was the design of a new foreign policy called dual containment.
