The relationships between Iran, Turkey, and the United States are among the most complex and consequential in the world. These three countries have a long and intertwined history, and their interactions have shaped the course of events in the Middle East and beyond. In recent years, these relationships have been strained by a number of factors, including Iran's nuclear program, Turkey's support for the Muslim Brotherhood, and the US's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In his new book, Reset: Iran, Turkey, and America's Future, Vali Nasr argues that it is time for a reset in these relationships. He contends that the old paradigms that have guided US policy towards Iran and Turkey are no longer working, and that a new approach is needed. Nasr offers a detailed and nuanced analysis of the challenges and opportunities facing these three countries, and he proposes a number of concrete steps that can be taken to improve relations.
