Neither Heroes nor Hostages
from Part V - The Schism (1978–1988)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 August 2023
America and Iran weathered together two centuries of thorny international politics. Often allies in a troubled Middle East, their cooperation enabled some social progress despite glaring missteps. Whatever surprises the region’s capricious politics brings, history has shown that US–Iranian collaboration offers more benefits than harm. “Iran” and “America” want to live on as beacons of humanism – neither as heroes nor hostages. Haunted by history, they each fight for their legacies. America tackles anew the vestiges of its racist institutions, while Iran pushes back on authoritarianism and intolerance. Their peoples hope for a free and tolerant future.
