Was the Bush administration's emphasis on military intervention, refusal to negotiate, and pursuit of regime change a better approach? How can the United States best address the ongoing turmoil in Tehran? This book provides a definitive and comprehensive analysis of the Obama administration's early diplomatic outreach to Iran and discusses the best way to move toward more positive relations between the two discordant states.Trita Parsi, a Middle East foreign policy expert with extensive Capitol Hill and United Nations experience, interviewed 70 high-ranking officials from the U.S., Iran, Europe, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Brazil-including the top American and Iranian negotiators-for this book. Parsi uncovers the previously unknown story of American and Iranian negotiations during Obama's early years as president, the calculations behind the two nations' dealings, and the real reasons for their current stalemate. Contrary to prevailing opinion, Parsi contends that diplomacy has not been fully tried. For various reasons, Obama's diplomacy ended up being a single roll of the dice. It had to work either immediately-or not at all. Persistence and perseverance are keys to any negotiation. Neither Iran nor the U.S. had them in 2009. 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / Diplomacy$2bisacsh 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zIran 607 $aIran$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y2009- 607 $aIran$xForeign relations$y21st century 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / Diplomacy. 676 $a327.73055 700 $aParsi$b Trita$0473433 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963076803321 996 $aA single roll of the dice$94358269 997 $aUNINA
