Three Golden Opportunities for Iran to Negotiate with the U.S.

Three Golden Opportunities for Iran to Negotiate with the U.S. Zarif: "Don't miss the opportunity for free" (+full text of the article) 🔹Mohammad Javad Zarif, the former Iranian foreign minister, in his latest article published in the first issue of "Payab Quarterly,*" discusses the proposed frameworks for negotiations between Iran and the U.S., mentioning opportunities that have been made available to Tehran following the signing of the memorandum of understanding on 27 Khordad 1405. 🔹Zarif believes that Iran is now in a position where it has three important levers; the ability to resist, the gap between the interests of the U.S., Israel, and regional countries, and the significance of the Strait of Hormuz; opportunities that, according to the former foreign minister of Iran, are not permanent and may quickly disappear. Mohammad Javad Zarif: 🔹In a smart negotiation, limiting the range of missiles alongside a commitment not to use missiles initially or transfer missile technology to others can be positioned against guarantees of non-aggression by the U.S. towards Iran, limiting weapons and military expenditures by Israel, and the U.S. refraining from obstructing Iran’s procurement of offensive and defensive capabilities.
