The U.S. is considering limited military strikes against Iran to force a new nuclear deal, though experts warn such actions may backfire and fail to achieve intended diplomatic leverage. Diplomatic talks between the U.S. and Iran are set to resume in Geneva, but former U.S. diplomat Alan Eyre estimates the window for successful negotiations is now "70% closed," signaling dwindling prospects for agreement. The U.S. has escalated its military presence in the Middle East, heightening regional tensions ahead of the Geneva talks, despite ongoing diplomatic efforts to revive stalled negotiations. Eyre, a Distinguished Diplomatic Fellow, cautioned that military pressure could harden Iran’s stance, reducing chances of a negotiated settlement and risking further destabilization in the region. President Trump’s threat of strikes reflects frustration with Iran’s nuclear program, but analysts suggest coercive tactics may undermine rather than strengthen long-term diplomatic solutions.
