Abstract

Iran and America have walked in rugged and tortuous terrain for decades and accordingly have shaped relations that we have to draw enmity as its essence in the broadest sense. The quality of interactions has drawn the two countries into a deep whirlpool. Players of the two sides of enmity because of specific concerns without any regard to the central reason of the crisis entertained sitting to negotiate. The negotiations have demonstrated the greenhouse configuration for the apparent reason of their lack of constitutive nature and absence of immersion into social processes which show the whole case is nothing more than rolling from one side to the other side in order to buy time and hoping for the occurrence of desired events. This question comes to mind very often why greenhouse negotiations in the context of continuity of pattern of enmity have not transformed the crises regarding the two countries' relations?. The failure of the players in the two end of the crises spectrum to discuss identity, ideology, and understanding differences underneath of the conflict of interest aimed at the positive-sum game or mixed-motives game and on the other hand comprehensive deficit in respect to cognitive triangle meaning knowing own domestic environment, the other side internal environment, and international system environment has to be viewed the most plausible answer.
