Crucially, though, these grievances are unlikely to sink the talks before they get started. The issues are too important. Neither side, for that matter, has a better policy in mind.

Indeed, throughout the crisis, Iran's government has shown it remains sensitive to its image on the world stage, announcing that its relations with foreign countries will depend on how they viewed the results of the disputed elections. For all its Britain-bashing, Iran has been less damning about alleged American interference, leaving the door open, perhaps, for future talks...
