Regional mediation between US and Iran hinges on Tehran’s clarity, analyst says

Political analyst Dr. Ayed Al-Manaa has said that regional mediation efforts aimed at containing tensions between the United States and Iran are intended to prevent a devastating war in the region, as US pressure on Tehran mounts to make concessions on its nuclear program.

Speaking to Al Ekhbariya TV, Al-Manaa explained that the success of these mediation efforts depends on how clear Iran’s position is and Tehran’s readiness to reach a solution that could help resolve ongoing disputes. He noted that achieving understandings between the two sides requires sufficient flexibility in addressing contentious issues.

He added that the exchange of accusations between Washington and Tehran over breaches of agreements further complicates the situation and creates obstacles to de-escalation efforts, making the prospects for a settlement dependent on both sides’ willingness to move beyond escalation and return to diplomacy.
