The US is leaning towards resolving tensions with Iran through diplomacy rather than military action, according to Steve Witkoff, President Trump's special envoy. Speaking at the Israeli-American Council conference, Witkoff emphasized the preference for a diplomatic resolution, citing Iran's internal crises, including severe shortages and inflation, as leverage for negotiations. ¹
Witkoff outlined four key issues Washington wants Tehran to address: nuclear enrichment, missiles, and proxies across the Middle East. He suggested Iran might be willing to compromise due to economic pressures, stating, "If they want to come back to the League of Nations, we can solve those four problems diplomatically".
The US has maintained contact with exiled Iranian opposition figures, exploring avenues for engagement. This approach aligns with Trump's broader strategy of prioritizing diplomacy, as evident in his administration's efforts to broker peace deals in the region.
As tensions simmer, the international community watches closely, hoping for a peaceful resolution. What do you think about the US's diplomatic approach to Iran? Will economic pressures sway Tehran's stance?
