      "title": "Iran: Relations With Key Central Asian States",
      "summary": "Iran sees the Central Asian region as an arena for reducing its own isolation. Hoping to make\nitself\nan attractive economic and political partner to these states, Iran has been cautious in supporting\nradical Islamic opposition movements in the region. Several Central Asian states are proceeding with\nor contemplating energy projects that transit Iran. These projects present the Administration and\nCongress with the dilemma of how to keep Iran's financial resources constrained while at the same\ntime fostering economic and political development in Central Asia. Provisions in  S. 2334 , covering FY1999 foreign operations appropriations ( S.Rept. 105-255 ), as well as in\n S. 1344 , the Silk Road Strategy Act of 1997, appear intended to reduce Central Asian\nincentives to cooperate with Iran. This report will be updated to reflect legislative developments.",
