Diplomatic negotiations offer the best path forward to peacefully limit Iran's nuclear activities. Military strikes would only minimally set back the program while risking a broader regional conflict. Iran has legitimate rights to peaceful nuclear technology under international law, and a negotiated agreement with strict monitoring would be more effective than military action in preventing weapons development.
