Public diplomacy between the US and Iran is stuck

By Ted Belman

White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Friday:

“Diplomacy with Iran is ongoing, just not in a direct fashion at the moment. There are communications through the Europeans and through others that enable us to explain to the Iranians what our position is, with respect to the compliance-for-compliance approach,”

“We’re waiting, at this point, to hear further from the Iranians how they would like to proceed,”

 

“We believe that we are in a diplomatic process now that we can move forward on, and ultimately secure our objective, which is to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and to do so through diplomacy.”

Does anyone believe that Diplomacy whether public or private will prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

The Biden administration removed the Houthis from the terror list thereby punishing Saudi Arabia.  It was also behind the PA  elections and the inclusion of Hamas.

Finally it is also behind Iran’s moves on Jordan as reported today as a means to counter the Abrahamic Accords.

  1. The goals of the EU are not in sync with most countries of the ME and the US!
    The Iranian are proceeding with nukes as they did with ballistic missiles, terrorism etc. There is no return to what Iran did not respect (the JCPOA, a piece of toilet paper)to start with.
