The already distant option of military action against Iran drew even further away on Wednesday, as a draft agreement on Iran’s nuclear program dealt a serious blow to chances that the United States will attack Iran.
The full draft of the agreement between six world powers and Iran is still to be published, and the little we know leaves a lot of question marks. However, if the draft is confirmed and if Iran fulfills the agreement to the letter, the Islamic Republic will have scored a major achievement in the war of attrition it has been running against the international community, while still relentlessly pursuing its nuclear program.
The agreement removes all justification for an attack on Iran’s nuclear sites over claims it is violating international commitments and attempts to obtain nuclear arms.
