Summary/Abstract: Turkish politicians are interested in maintaining cooperation with Iran, but due to serious differences in interests, they still perceive Iran as a rival. That is why Turkey, which has criticised President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the U.S. from the nuclear agreement with Iran, may be willing to help reduce Iran’s influence in the region. Yet, implementation of this requires overcoming many difficulties in relations between Turkey and the U.S.
