For the first time since 2018, the United States and Iran are holding high level negotiations.

What Iran wants is clear: an end to US sanctions, and resumption of economic engagement. But the US has been speaking in different voices, ranging from a maximalist position of complete dismantlement of the Iranian nuclear program, to a more moderate goal of capping

the weaponistion of it.

President Donald Trump has also given a two-month deadline to Iran to make a deal. If it doesn’t, he has threatened military strikes.

So, what can we realistically expect from these talks? How real are American threats to bomb Iran if it doesn’t agree to a deal in two months? And is Iran negotiating from a weaker

position than it was in, say, 2015 when the previous deal was signed?
