  • Washington's anti-Iran alliance isolated; no popular base for warmongers

Pars Today- The US Quincy Institute, wrote in an analysis, "Opponents of nuclear agreement with Iran have influence only in the limited circles of neoconservatives of Washington and the Israeli lobby, while an overwhelming majority of Americans and even the base of Trump Republicans seek diplomatic settlement of crisis."

According to Pars Today, based on the report of Quincy "action tank", the opponents of nuclear agreement with Iran lack wide support among the American public opinion and even the Republicans' base, and once Trump ignores these groups, he won't endure much political cost.

Neoconservatives and impractical demands

Neoconservatives and their allies in Washington and Israel have called for complete suspension of Iran's nuclear program, while this stance has been described as "unacceptable" and "poisonous" by experts. Sina Tousi, senior researcher of the International Policy Center, considered these demands as an attempt for sabotage in Trump diplomacy.

Americans widely supporting agreement

The opinion poll of Maryland University indicates that %69 of Americans, including %64 of Republicans, back a controlled agreement with Iran to "restrict" its nuclear program. This is while, the opponents are trying to distort public opinion through deviating polls.

Trump fans; from Benen to Taylor Greene

Influential figures of the pro-Trump faction, such as Steve Benen and Marjorie Taylor Greene, have seriously opposed anti-Iran warmongering. Tucker Carlson has also warned that any clash with Iran would lead to a catastrophe.

Regional powers change stance

Saudi Arabia and other US allies in the region, which had lobbied against the 2015 nuclear deal, have expressed their support for Trump administration's negotiations with Iran. Analysts evaluate this change as an inclination to avoid escalation of tensions.

Path ahead; agreement without political cost

Thanks to the support of his base and public opinion, the US President, Donald Trump can sign an agreement with Iran without the need to [excessive demand of] "zero enrichment" in a bid to maintain the US security. Experts believe that warmongers are trying to impact the negotiations only through distorting realities.
