In your opinion how can we improve American-Iranian relations?

Iran used to be one of the United States most important allies. This could be possible again, but it would take work from both parties.

I think Iran apologizing for the hostage taking, unlawful arrest of American hikers and our own leaders apologizing for the bombing of the Iran Air flight gunned down in 1988 could be a good starting point.

Update:

Hopefully the new administration will have an anti-Assad stance.

Update 2:

Also, both Republicans and Democrats in the homeland are to blame for this.

Jimmy Carter severely angered and made Iran view us as untrustworthy when he gave the ousted shah exile in the United States for medical treatment. This lead to the hostage crisis.

Bush Sr. said of the Iranian airline bombing "I am not apologizing for what we do I don't care what the facts are" further angering a very unstable situation.

    Discontinuing calling us " The Great Satan" would be a good start...

    Keep Iranians out of the United States, and send the ones who are here, back to Iran where they belong with the Muslims religion. This will be the beginning of having pride in their nation and religion. To help your own nation and people and religion has value. Not running from a government and being a coward and letting people destroy Iran and moving to foreign countries. That's no pride.

    Build up our military power. The only thing radical muslims know is violence and power. When Reagan became president foreign nations were terrified of us.

    apologizing does not solve anything. main issue is Zionism/Shia Islam relations.

    US should stop supporting Israel and Zionists and stop interfering Iran for example supporting green movement or Nojeh Coup or 1953 Iranian coup d'état or Operation Eagle Claw or Iran-Iraq war or ....

    Twelver Shia Muslims (Iran, Hezbollah, Syria, Iraq,… ) are preparing the world for global Islam civilization by leadership of Imam Mahdi and Jesus a.s.

    Satans and evil humans are preparing the world for global govt of Antichrist (Dajjal) (new world order) by using Zionism, Wahhabism, Freemasonry, Bahaism, Evangelicalism, Homosexuality, Israel, US govt, UN, media, banks, Hollywood, lobbies, AIPAC, ….

    They brainwash people by propaganda against God, religion and by fake religions, cults and terrorism in the name of religion.

    Imam Mahdi (12th Imam) and Jesus a.s. are already alive and helping real believers while being at occultation (living hided from public but not from faithful pious practicing believers). Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Eagle_Claw and http://en.sajed.ir/ (in many cases soldiers in this war saw angles helping them.)

    Hypocrite dictators of Muslims poisoned or killed all 11 infallible Imams (leader). 12th Imam arrives when people really want his leadership.

    Believing in Imamat has direct effect on today politics. Dictators are controlling Muslims and try to remove Imamat from mind of people. Dictators like Mubarak, Ghazafi, Saudi King, Saleh, and modern ones like Obama (movie: the Obama deception). Current Leader of Shia Muslims is not a dictator: http://leader.ir/ he has a simple and poorly personal life and home like Jesus a.s.

    Iran and nuke is propaganda. Iran is member of NPT. Iran has no problem with US people and Judaism. But has problem with Imperialism and Zionism. Iran has second largest Jew population.

    When Mahdi arrives people will accept real peaceful Islam (not Wahhabism and AlQaede) freely. Humans know 2/27 of knowledge and Imam Mahdi a.s. teaches the rest from his divine knowledge.

    Wahhaibsm:

    http://www.al-islam.org/new-analysis-wahhabi-doctr...

    He needs real supporters to arrive. Real Muslim is few.

    Books bout Imam Mahdi (sa) and globl govt:

    http://www.maaref-foundation.com/english/library/p...

    http://www.al-islam.org/mahdi/nontl/Toc.htm

    Arrivals is near.

    Jesus a.s. arrives 8 months after Imam Mahdi a.s. then antichrist (Dajjal) arrives. Jesus a.s. will pray behind Imam Mahdi a.s. and make peace between Muslims and Christians (western people).

    After 7 years this peace ends and a war between govt of US (and Israel) and Imam Mahdi a.s. starts. Antichrist arrives and a global war. Antichrist shows many miracles and many of people will believe him as Jesus a.s.

    After that war no war will happen for humans. Quran 2:256 says there shall be no compulsion in acceptance of religion. So Imam Mahdi a.s. will not warn people to convert and let them free to decide about religion. This is Islam. Do not confuse Islam with Wahhabism which is made to people hate Islam and never learn about real Islam.

    Always check http://www.presstv.ir/ after watching Fox News, CNN, BBC and other popular media.

    Antichrist is a Zionist Jew man. US military will be controlled by Antichrist. According to original Judaism there cannot be a Jewish state until the coming of the Messiah. God is not a man in sky. God has no son or child. God is not from material at all. Two of God messengers did not have father and created by miracle: Adam and Jesus a.s. Father in bible is a metaphor, does not mean physical father but means trainer. Muhammad SAWW is final messenger and after him God appointed Imams to lead humans and interpret Quran correctly. Abrahamic religions are one in fact but each customized for a specific era. Shia Islam has no conflict with evolution theory. The roof of Jesus a.s. was sky and had simple food and cloth. Not living in gold. Testaments are distorted partially during history by hypocrites with support of dictators to justify their illegitimate power. But not Quran because God promised to himself protect it. Real truth seekers always can find true religion and meet God.
