It’s everything but irrelevant. There has been an on going toxic environment in US/Iranian relations with the Iranian PEOPLE, not government administrations, since the Truman administration embraced Mohammed Reza Pahlavi in the late 1940’s to protect private British oil interests and the M16/CIA coup in 1953.
The list of repeated “bipartisan” mistakes on our end has perpetually continued up through Obama’s administration. No matter how ugly and ignorant the dog is, when you keep kicking it over and over it will indeed come to hate you. Cause and effect. We need to also address “why” the dog hates us, this is just as important as how dangerous the dog has now become or we will continue to keep repeating these same actions.

Currently, the Iranian people are irrelevant. Iran is a theoocracy in which the people are ruled by the mullahs who give priority to their Islamic goals over the general population. The mullahs have tight control and will never give it up until they are killed.
The people are unwilling or unable to kill the Islamotyrants.
