It is a bit more complicated than that... yes the arguments are divisive, but there are other considerations... There is a reason the Houthis haven't entered the war, which I will not expand on, but the actual premise and choices are not there yet... There is a disconnect between the Trump administration and what the Europeans and Obama administration went through to get the JCPOA... Richard Burn's hated every moment of negotiating with the Iranians... he called it "two years of dealing with ....." I will leave it to you to fill in the blanks...
There are two arguments.... 1. The consolidation of the regime in Tehran... It is not a given yet! There are voices and there have been actions by a hardline (I will let you work that out) and other voices who have tried to reach out....

On the recurrence of freeze, Jessica Genauer and I wrote this for the Conversation in April.
It's a straight summary of what we saw occurring at the time.

Glad to keep receiving your own independent essays, which of course go beyond the provision of information to be the provision of insight.
