The article addresses the relations between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran as of the start of the war in Iraq in 2003, but focusing above all on the central weight of the Iranian nuclear program in this relationship. After dealing with the years of considerable bilateral tension observed during the Bush administration, and some of the positive developments that were perceived in parallel, the article studies the most important aspects of the Obama administration's change in political discourse toward Iran. Although the author considers that a new negotiating opportunity does indeed exist, he doubts that such a process, if it could be undertaken, could lead to a total normalization of relations in the short or medium terms.
