Nuclear talks resume tomorrow [April] 5 among Iran, the United States and five other powers in an atmosphere of decidedly restrained optimism.
It would be wonderful if these on-again, off-again negotiations led to a verifiable cap on Iran’s nuclear program in return for relief of sanctions that are impoverishing and embittering the Iranian people. But given the difficult history between Iran and the international community, it is entirely possible that no agreement will be reached. That does not mean, however, that US policy should remain unchanged.
