The Spin
Anti-Iran narrative
The maximum pressure campaign on Iran must continue until Tehran completely dismantles its nuclear program, as the regime cannot be trusted with nuclear capabilities given its history of supporting terrorism and threatening regional stability.
Pro-Iran narrative
Economic sanctions and military threats only push Iran further from negotiations. Tehran has the right to peaceful nuclear technology and requires trust-building measures from the U.S. after the previous agreement's violation.
