Breaking Down the Iran-US Talks: Pathways to Success
Experts weigh in on the key factors that could determine the outcome of the high-stakes negotiations between Iran and the US.
The delicate and long-standing tensions between Iran and the United States have once again taken center stage, with both nations engaged in high-stakes negotiations that could reshape the geopolitical landscape. As the talks progress, political scientist Mohsen Milani and former White House official Elisa Ewers have offered their insights on the potential paths forward, shedding light on the complex dynamics at play.
Milani, a renowned expert on Iranian politics and foreign policy, emphasizes the critical role of trust-building in the negotiation process. "Trust is the key to successful negotiations," he says, "and both sides need to demonstrate a genuine willingness to compromise and address each other's core concerns." This sentiment is echoed by Ewers, who notes that "the long history of mistrust and animosity between Iran and the US presents a significant obstacle that must be overcome if any lasting agreement is to be reached."
