Authors: Kenneth Katzman, Foreign Affairs and National Defense Division 
Abstract: This report analyzes developments in U.S. policy toward Iran, including existing U.S. sanctions in force. It discusses changes in Iranian policy and in U.s. policy toward Iran since the May 1997 election of a relative moderate, Mohammad Khatemi, as Iran's President. The report analyzes the outstanding issues that divide the two countries, and conditions under which Iran might respond positively to U.S. efforts to improve relations with Khatemi's government.
