Nuclear Dilemmas

…Jason Brodsky, policy director for United Against Nuclear Iran, said the current developments do not mean that the “window is closing on diplomacy”, for Iran’s supreme leader has authorised talks under both hardline and moderate presidencies. “The Rouhani administration is trying to make it appear as if the window for diplomacy is closing,” Brodsky explained, “because the Rouhani presidency is in its final months. But he has an ulterior motive here in trying to bolster his own legacy at home and, in the process, attempting to improve the political fortunes of the pragmatists ahead of Iran’s presidential election.”
