Iran's Foreign and Defense Policies Kenneth Katzman

Iran's national security policy is arguably the product of overlapping and sometimes competing priorities such as the ideology of Iran's Islamic revolution, perception of threats to the regime and to the country, and long-standing national interests. The incoming Biden Administration has indicated that it will seek to rejoin the Iran nuclear agreement if Iran comes back into full compliance with its terms. President-elect Biden has said his administration would conduct follow-on negotiations with Iran to address other outstanding U. S. concerns about Iranian behavior, particularly Iran's development of ballistic missiles.
