World Politics , Could Iran help the US stabilize Iraq

Introduction

U .S .Iraq War of 2003 , military action led by the United States against the regime of Saddam Hussein , the authoritarian leader of Iraq Announcing the beginning of the war in March 2003 , U .S . president George W . Bush explained that the goals were to disarm Iraq [and] to free its people

' President Bush had threatened war for months , arguing that Saddam Hussein 's regime posed a grave threat to U .S . security and peace in the region because of its alleged pursuit of weapons of mass destruction

After the success in toppling down Saddam Hussein it is now time to re-construct the distraction created by war and United States . The drawdown of US troops from Iraq requires Iran 's cooperation . Iran has the longest b with Iraq and dominates Iraq 's heavily populated east . In a crisis , it could easily close the sea lanes through which most US military supplies reach Iraq . It has longstanding relations with a broad range of Iraqi political groups ( Cobban , 2006 ) However , this issues become more hot if Iran are willing to help US on not

After reading all the sources and analyzed I have found out that Iran are not willing to help US in stabilizing the situation in Iraq However , there is some leader in Iran who is telling to the media that they are willing to talk to US with some consideration that the US might agree during the negotiations process

The Iran point of view why they will not support US this time around

First , No , in the since that Iran and the US are laying down irreconcilable , maximalist positions that reflect very different worldviews about what such contact should achieve . Mr . Bush was to set aside his approach to Iran as part of an "axis of evil (Scott Peterson 2006

Second , according to Amir Mohebian "now is not the best time for Iran to help because American intent is only to solve the problems of the US in Iraq and not those of Iran " He further said that "If the US wants to solve its problems in Iraq , it must see that as a package " of issues with Iran . The US should consider Iran 's new position in the region not just as one country , but as a regional power (Scott Peterson 2006

In my own analysis the Iran wanted the committed of US to be true to their words because it has been their experience before that help US but in return they are still bad in their eyes . The US is not considering the help they give but they see their negative side

An example of this situation is on Afghanistan in 2001 , when Iran helped the US defeat the Taliban and push out Al Qaeda with extensive intelligence and diplomatic aid...
