The Indian Express editorial argues that Iran’s political future cannot be separated from its confrontation with the United States. It links Iran’s legitimacy problem, sanctions pressure, regional security concerns, and the absence of a durable bargain with Washington to wider instability in West Asia.
The Indian Express editorial also says the Iran nuclear standoff has been driven by coercive pressure from both sides. It attributes brinkmanship to Tehran and erratic, forceful pressure to Donald Trump’s approach, and says threats and sanctions have replaced stable negotiation.
