Diplomacy offers the best path towards preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear threat while avoiding costly military entanglement. Regional powers and European allies recognize that talks can address Tehran's nuclear stockpiles and reduce tensions without dragging America into another Middle East quagmire. Trump's pragmatic approach represents smart statecraft that could finally transform Iran.
These talks amount to nothing more than theater that rewards a murderous regime while it buys time and preserves its nuclear program. Iran refuses to budge on enrichment, missiles or regional terror proxies, making any agreement worthless. Negotiating with a government that just slaughtered protesters only legitimizes tyranny and delays the inevitable reckoning that Tehran's nuclear ambitions demand.
There is a 3% chance the United States will conduct a ground invasion of Iran before 2027, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
