Tensions Between U.S. and Iran

This article is a CNN Report from April 9th 2014 that explained how the Supreme Leader gave the green light for Iran to participate in the Nuclear talks with the rest of the world leaders. Even though this article contains information that is a little bit dated, there is an interesting statement in it that relates to our AP government class. In the article, the Supreme leader accuses the U.S. of fueling "nuclear hype" about Iran's interest in nuclear weapons. This is an example of the inflammatory and accusing statements often made by both U.S. and Iranian officials about each other's country. The statement exemplifies the tensions between the U.S. and Iran that have existed ever since the U.S. supported the last Shah and attempted to exploit Iran for its oil.
