In a stark assessment of the current state of international relations, Jeremy Scahill, co-founder of the investigative news outlet The Intercept's sister publication Drop Site News, has expressed pessimism about the likelihood of progress between Iran and the United States. Scahill's comments come as tensions between the two nations remain high, with ongoing disputes over Iran's nuclear program and human rights issues dominating the headlines. Despite efforts by the Biden administration to revive the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, Scahill believes that underlying animosities and competing interests will likely hinder meaningful progress. As the situation remains volatile, Scahill's analysis sheds light on the complex dynamics at play and the challenges ahead for diplomacy.
Chances are slim for progress between Iran and the US, argues Drop Site News co-founder Jeremy Scahill.
