South Asia Center Nonresident Senior Fellow Barbara Slavin writes for Al-Monitor on a new book, Iran and the United States: An Insider’s View on the Failed Past and the Road to Peace by former Iran official Seyed Hossein Mousavian:
For the last few years, Al-Monitor’s Seyed Hossein Mousavian has been among the most prolific Iranian writers in the United States promoting US-Iran reconciliation and trying to explain his complicated and often maligned country to American audiences.
In a new book, “Iran and the United States: An Insider’s View on the Failed Past and the Road to Peace,” Mousavian continues this mission while revealing new details of fruitless overtures by Iranian leaders to ease hostilities over the past two decades.
