Twenty-five years of United States' (U.S.) diplomatic isolation and unilateral economic sanctions have failed to alleviate the security threat posed by Iran, a state renowned for sponsoring terrorism, ignoring human rights, and seemingly bent on acquiring nuclear weapon technology.

Twenty-five years of United States' (U.S.) diplomatic isolation and unilateral economic sanctions have failed to alleviate the security threat posed by Iran, a state renowned for sponsoring terrorism, ignoring human rights, and seemingly bent on acquiring nuclear weapon technology. While Iran's government negotiates with the European Union over nuclear power safeguards, Iranian students and unemployed college graduates grow evermore resentful at their lack of social freedoms, economic opportunities, and democratic voice. This research paper explores the relatively new concept of soft power and its applicability in neutralizing Iran's security threat to the U.S. by facilitating social changes, economic investment, and democratic reforms within the strict Islamic state. It first examines how past hard-power strategies have failed to further U.S. interests in Iran. Next, it analyzes successful examples of positive relationships between the U.S. and Middle Eastern countries, where soft power has been employed effectively. Third, it exposes current opportunities for affecting the hearts and minds of Iranians through U. S. soft power. Finally, it concludes by offering a fresh strategy of how the U.S. should deal with Iran to effect the necessary social and governmental changes that will become the foundation for restoring strong diplomatic and economic ties between the two countries.
