In the international relations literature, US-Iran relations are usually examined in a narrow time frame. In these analyses, scholars examine the bilateral relationship by taking either the 1953 Mossadiq coup or the 1979 Islamic Revolution as milestone. However, it is possible to trace back the unofficial relations of the US with Iran to the 1830s and the diplomatic relations to the 1850s. Drawing on image theory, this study seeks to examine these two countries’ first impressions of each other during the period of 1830-1914. It argues that just like in human relations, the images and perceptions states develop of one another in their first encounters can have a long-lasting impact on their relations. During the period under review, the knowledge that the two countries had of each other was extremely limited, even more so for Iran. The US and Iran had unrealistic images of each other based on their perceptions shaped by their self-images, cultures, historical information, and international conjecture at the time. These unrealistic viewpoints prevented them from assessing each other accurately and created false expectations.
