Given both the present perils and the emerging potential, it's time to transform Trump's maximum pressure into diplomatic activity. It's also time to provide a more common front to Iran by taming transatlantic tensions, moderating Washington's partisan bickering and toning down Trumpian tweets so that all parties can better leverage the indisputable economic bite of sanctions into a deal that better contains Iran and avoid war.
Even Trump's fiercest critics concede U.S. unilateral sanctions have reduced the resources Iran can invest in malign activities. Lay aside all the transatlantic and domestic differences that have poisoned the Iran debate, and one is left with a simple question: how can one best alter the Iranian regime's cost-benefit analysis and render unsustainable its support for proxies, terrorism and nuclear arms ambitions?
