Reengaging Iran: A CNAS Report
The Center for a New American Security (CNAS) has released a report titled "Reengaging Iran," which outlines potential strategies for the United States to resume diplomatic relations with Iran. The report was written by Ilan Goldenberg, Elisa Catalano Ewers, and Kaleigh Thomas.
The authors argue that the United States should seek to reengage with Iran in order to address regional security concerns and to reduce the risk of conflict. They suggest that this could involve a range of measures, including the negotiation of a new nuclear deal, the establishment of a joint task force to combat terrorism, and the normalization of economic relations.
The report also acknowledges that reengagement with Iran will not be easy, and that it will require significant political will and a willingness to compromise. The authors note that the United States and Iran have a long history of tension and mistrust, and that any attempt to resume diplomatic relations will need to address these issues.
Overall, the "Reengaging Iran" report provides a useful framework for understanding the potential benefits and challenges of renewed diplomatic relations between the United States and Iran. While it is clear that reengagement will not be easy, the authors suggest that it is worth pursuing in order to address regional security concerns and to reduce the risk of conflict.
