11:09Now PlayingHow did the U.S. and Iran go from close allies to bitter enemies locked in decades of crises, coups, sanctions and war? We trace the dramatic arc of U.S.-Iran relations — from the 1953 coup against Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh, to the Islamic Revolution, the hostage crisis, secret back‑channel dealings, the nuclear standoff, and the current conflict. Along the way, the U.S. supplied nuclear technology to Iran - before the 1979 Revolution transformed the country and its relations with Washington. Speaking to Iranian activist Negin Shiraghaei, founder of the Azadi Network, and Ian Lesser from the German Marshall Fund, DW explores how generations on both sides have processed these conflicts — and how shifting domestic politics, nationalism, and foreign policy goals shape today’s dangerous escalation.
