Middle East crisis has given Iran new way to resist nuclear limits, say former US-Iran envoys
Why the Nato alliance is not as likely to dissolve as Trump makes it seem
AI Summary
Former US envoys involved in the JCPOA nuclear agreement say the recent US-Israeli attack on Iran and Iran's subsequent closure of the Strait of Hormuz have strengthened Iran's position in nuclear negotiations. These envoys argue that Iran's ability to close the strait, a vital economic waterway, provides them with a powerful deterrent, potentially lessening the perceived need for a nuclear weapon. They believe this new leverage makes it more difficult for the US to pressure Iran to limit its nuclear program. A US delegation, led by JD Vance, is scheduled to meet with Iranian negotiators in Islamabad, Pakistan, to discuss the situation. The US seeks a resolution, but lacks a clear plan for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
