In a recent op-ed published in The Hill, Dylan Williams, the vice president for government affairs at the Center for International Policy in the US, highlighted the opportunity for diplomacy with Iran. He emphasized the importance of addressing the disastrous consequences of Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, urging President Joe Biden to seize the chance for a major security win.
Williams criticized the Biden administration’s delay in reversing Trump’s policies towards Iran, noting the impact of increased sanctions on the country. However, with the recent developments in Iran, including the unexpected election of reform-oriented President Masoud Pezeshkian, there is hope for a new agreement to revive the JCPOA.
Pezezshkian, a supporter of the Iran Deal, has shown willingness to engage in diplomacy to restore the core components of the agreement. This opportunity presents a chance for Biden to fulfill his campaign promise and promote a more peaceful and stable Middle East.
With the right approach, the US and Iran can work towards a mutually beneficial resolution, bringing hope for a more positive future in the region.
