These relations evolved under conditions in which both countries understood and valued the need for cooperation, but also were aware of its limits and the dangers of too close a partnership. U.S. security dealings with Saudi Arabia are an extreme, perhaps unique, case of how security ties unfolded under conditions in which sensitivities to those ties were always a central —oftentimes dominating—consideration. This was especially true in the most delicate area of military assistance. Distinct patterns of behavior by the two countries emerged as a result, patterns that continue to this day. This dissertation examines the first twenty years of the U.S.-Saudi military assistance relationship. It seeks to identify the principal factors responsible for how and why the military assistance process evolved as it did, focusing on the objectives and constraints of both U.S.

  • The Long Month of January: Intensification of Conflicts Between Different Projects in Iran and the Rise of the Global Confederation of Iranian Students (GCIS)
    Shiva Tabari February 2020 The Long month of January: intensification of conflicts between different projects in Iran and the Rise of the Global Confederation of Iranian Students (GCIS) There are moments in history, due to a myriad of events, shifts in the (e)motion of people, and simultaneity of social movements, that participants have a strange feeling of intensification of time. Any day endures as much as a week, every week appears as a month or so. It is unbelievable for people that this amount of change and events have happened only during a week or so. This amount of conflict and clash of ideas, bodies, projects should happen in several years or maybe more. Hence, if people in (so-called) Western countries like Australia, which have a relatively stable country, want to understand the everyday life of Iranians in January 2020 and learn from our experience, they have, first of all, to imagine themselves in a situation that all of the sad news they hear during some years, all of anger they feel due to misbehavior of their ruling class, all of their nightmares about another world war and losing their normal life, all their hopes and hopelessness, and also all of the social/political activities which they do during many years (demonstration, strike, signing a petition etc.), have been compacted and concentrated in a single month. I call it intensification of history. Possibly, an element of a revolutionary situation. I am sure that Iranian people had the same feeling during the September of 1941 when both the Allies and the Soviet Union invaded Iran, occupied Tehran and forcibly abdicated Reza Pahlavi and assigned his son (Mohammadreza), a puppet, as the King.

  • Iran Relations
    August 2021 Lectures in Diplomacy US – Iran Relations By Siham Al-Jiboury – Senior Advisor on the Middle East American writer George Friedman asked: “Do you know what is the most important global event in Bidaya? The twenty-first century after the events of the eleventh from September? It is the US-Iranian alliance.” Iran and the United States have had no formal diplomatic relations since April 1980. Pakistan serves as Iran's protecting power in the United States, while Switzerland serves as the United States' protecting power in Iran. Contacts are carried out through the Iranian Interests Section of the Pakistani Embassy in Washington, D.C., and the US Interests Section of the Swiss Embassy in Tehran. In August 2018, Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei banned direct talks with the United States. The American newspapers in the 1720s were uniformly pro-Iranian, especially during the Mahmud Hotak's 1722 revolt against the Iranian monarchy. Relations between the two nations began in the mid-to-late 19th century, when Iran was known to the west as Persia. Initially, while Persia was very wary of British and Russian colonial interests during the Great Game, the United States was seen as a more trustworthy foreign power, and the Americans Arthur Millspaugh and Morgan Shuster were even appointed treasurers- general by the Shahs of the time. During World War II, Persia was invaded by the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, both US allies, but relations continued to be positive after the war until the later years of the government of Mohammad Mosaddegh, who was overthrown by a coup organized by the Central Intelligence Agency and aided by MI6.

  • H-Diplo Review Essay 234
    H-Diplo ESSAY 234 STATE OF THE FIELD>> UNITED STATES-IRANIAN RELATIONS 22 May 2020 https://hdiplo.org/to/E234 Editor: Diane Labrosse | Production Editor: George Fujii Review by Gregory Brew, Southern Methodist University his essay reviews the state of the field of United States-Iranian relations. Rather than attempt a comprehensive survey of this dynamic and expanding body of scholarship, this essay offers a glimpse of the field as it is currently T evolving, proceeding chronologically according to topic rather than publications. The focus is on U.S.-Iranian relations, broadly defined, though for the sake of consistency diplomatic history is emphasized. Readers will note that works cited here focus predominantly on the international relationship, rather than the United States as an actor within Iran’s modern history.1 Key themes include the evolving importance of the Cold War, transnational ties, interpretations of the Islamic Revolution from the perspective of U.S. policy-makers, and the continued preoccupation with U.S.-Iranian confrontations in the post-revolutionary period. The Cold War and Iran Early encounters between the United States and Iran came chiefly through the work of missionaries, oil companies, and local diplomats.2 A number of diplomatic disputes between Iran and the United States in the 1920s, including the death of American consul Robert Imbrie in 1924, and an abortive effort by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey to secure an oil concession, marked an era of limited engagement.3 World War II brought about a more concrete American involvement in the country’s politics. Worried that the Anglo- Soviet occupation would weaken Iran’s internal stability, the U.S.

    British Policy in Iran and Relations with the Soviet Union, 1945-46 by DAVID PIERPOINT A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts of The University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern History School of Historical Studies The University of Birmingham December 1999 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis is an investigation in to British policy towards Iran between the Yalta Conference and the resolution of the Iranian Crisis of early 1946 and the subsequent impact of those policies upon her relationship with her enigmatic partner, the USSR. It investigates the development of ideas within the British Embassy in Tehran and more especially within the Foreign Office relating to the future of Iran, which had been the subject of an Anglo-Soviet occupation since August 1941 and which had been, through its bounteous supply of oil, of vital economic importance to Britain since the late nineteenth century. The paper calls in to question the assertion that British foreign policy in the immediate aftermath of the war was based entirely upon the principles of the so- called 'New World Order', and its instruments, the Atlantic Charter and the United Nations.
