Iran's new president
says
he wants to reach a nuclear settlement with the US.
I hope the US looks for a settlement, and offers an end of sanctions
as part of the deal. We can't take this for granted. Netanyahu will
use his influence to prevent any settlement, because he wants the US
and Iran to go to war rather than resolve differences peacefully.
The Iranian regime is a disgusting tyranny, which oppresses women and
sometimes men too. But the US can't change this by conflict with
Iran; the sanctions drive Iranians into supporting their government.
Resolve this dispute, and the state will have nothing to distract the
people with.
