Analysis: The effect of the US attack on Iran will be a key factor in the deal
The extent of the damage the US did to the Iranian nuclear facilities last weekend will play a major role for President Donald Trump and his attempts to reach a new deal with Iran. Kylie Atwood writes in an analysis on CNN.
Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy to the Middle East, needs to develop a diplomatic strategy for how the US will stop Iran from building nuclear weapons. What the strategy going forward will look like depends on the effects of the US bombings.
“Even if the facilities themselves are severely damaged, it does not mean that the nuclear program as such has been completely destroyed,” Atwood writes.
On the Iranian side, the political leadership faces a dilemma, writes NBC News’ Dan De Luce. Either they agree to a new deal with the United States and stop enriching uranium, or they try to acquire nuclear weapons.
However, it will be difficult for Iran to secretly begin building an atomic bomb. Israel has repeatedly shown that it can bypass Iranian security authorities, expose nuclear activities and find high-ranking people in the military, writes De Luce, referring to statements from officials and experts.
