Foreign Policy published a piece by Trita Parsi, President of the National Iranian American Council:
"Behind the wonky op-eds about enrichment, breakout capability, and
sanctions relief, there is an innovative attempt to find a lasting peace
that I believe is unparalleled. If the two sides manage to reach a deal
by their June 30 deadline, their achievement will go beyond just
preventing a war or blocking Iran’s paths to a bomb. The real
achievement may be that a major international conflict — a conflict that
has brought the United States and Iran to the brink of war in recent
years — has been resolved through a compromise achieved by diplomacy."
It continues:
"The secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani, has said
that the United States and Iran can, in a post-deal environment,
“behave in a way that they do not use their energy against each other.”
If Iran and the United States can reach a détente and avoid getting
entangled with each other, this would be a radical shift from their
antagonistic rivalry of the past three decades. It wouldn’t necessarily
be a partnership — much less an alliance — but their relationship would
no longer be characterized by enmity, but rather by a truce."
