The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

Both sides are willing to continue negotiations and find a diplomatic resolution to their long nuclear standoff. Despite most of his officials being known for their hawkishness on Iran, as well as his own record, the Trump administration is actually making progress on nuclear talks and keeping the president's promise to be a peacemaker in his return to the White House.

AntiWar

Anti-Trump narrative

The Trump administration now looks completely clueless when it comes to nuclear negotiations with Iran. While the maximum pressure campaign is what brought Tehran to the negotiating table, Trump and his officials have now decided to make a U-turn and limit their leverage so as not to inflate their counterparts — an approach that only helps Iran to buy time and relief, and press forward with its uranium enrichment.

Wall Street Journal

Pro-Iran narrative

The path to a diplomatic solution requires recognition of Iran's legitimate rights while ensuring peaceful nuclear development. The current U.S. proposal represents an unrealistic, one-sided approach that disregards Iran's sovereign right to peaceful nuclear technology under international law. An agreement is within reach, but any sustainable agreement must balance verification measures with respect for Iran's civilian nuclear program.
