The Plan Against Iran Is Working
(Asharq Al-Awsat-UK) Abdulrahman Al-Rashed - The imposition of sanctions is pushing Iran into intransigence. It will go back to uranium enrichment and lose the support of the rest of the states that signed the nuclear deal. By increasing its uranium enrichment, Iran has increased the threat against it, not the other way around. Moreover, Iran's situation in Syria is very bad, as Israel continuously attacks its military presence. Iran's forces and militias have retreated outside of Damascus. Russia allows Israel to target the Iranians in Syria. Iran wants to push things toward ending or curbing U.S. sanctions, but this will never happen. The sanctions will not be lifted and negotiations are the only solution. The writer is former general manager of Al-Arabiya television and former editor-in-chief of Asharq Al-Awsat.
