Will Iran Engage Diplomatically?
The Overlook
Tomorrow, the U.S. and Iran will meet in Oman to discuss President Trump's demands to end the regime's terror in the region and through its race to nuclear arms. Lisa Daftari of The Foreign Desk joins Dominique to discuss Iranian aggression, the emboldment of the Iranian regime, and the limitations of diplomacy. Iran has demonstrated it is committed to regional destabilization, the war against Israel, and aggression towards the United States. Diplomatic talks with Iran have never been successful in the past, and while the Trump administration has signaled talks are the preferred channel, the United States must be realistic when it comes to the regime's zero-sum objective for regional instability and hegemonic ambitions. As Lisa reminds the audience, the U.S. should not underestimate what Iran is capable of and willing to inflict on the region and the U.S. to achieve its ideological aims.
