US and Iran ‘still looking for room to negotiate’
Mark Pfeifle, a Republican strategist and former White House and national security official, says both Iran and the US are still willing to strike a deal.
“Sometimes in diplomacy it’s what’s taken off the table,” he told Al Jazeera.
Pfeifle said that when Iran’s security chief Mohsen Rezaei reiterated his demands for talks with the US, “he kept ending the blockade, releasing the frozen funds \[and] stopping the attacks”.
“But he left off reparations and reconstruction money, which tells me that there’s a concrete sign that amongst all the rhetoric, which is still very strident, that the pressure campaign that the US is putting on Iran is having some effect,” he said.
“And it tells me that both sides are still looking for room to negotiate in the coming weeks.”
