U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations in Doha end without breakthrough
NBCMAR 28 2022
Again, the Biden admin.'s negotiations with Tehran have imploded. This is yet another sign that the president's plan to placate Iran will likely fail, as the Islamic Republic continues to be intransigent.
Though this week's talks didn't lead to any progress, they aren't the end of negotiations. Iran and the US are both interested in striking a deal regarding Tehran's nuclear program, and with further talks, progress can likely be made.
The IRGC has become one of the region's most powerful and dangerous military organizations, training and arming terrorist proxies in places like Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. Concessions are only going to embolden this radical organization and lead to further mayhem in the Middle East.
Any threat currently posed by Iran would be far worse should it obtain a nuclear weapon. Trump's withdrawal from the 2015 agreement only made that possibility more likely. These concessions are necessary in the interests of wider national security.
