It's Time for US to 'Go Big' And Close Deal With Iran
On the heels of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's statement that Iran will be offered "a diplomatic way out," Andrew Parasiliti writes that the US should indeed recognize Iran’s right to enrichment and accept Iranian offers of cooperation, saying that there's no downside to President Obama going all out on Iran.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton encouraged speculation this week that the US may be preparing to "go big" on Iran when she said that Iran will be offered "a diplomatic way out, a very clear path that would be verifiable and would be linked to action for action" when nuclear talks resume in Moscow June 18-19.
The US should indeed "go big" by recognizing Iran’s right to enrichment, accepting Iranian offers of cooperation in regional trouble spots, and making explicit that Iranian transparency on its nuclear program would lead to the lifting of sanctions.
