Experts warn 60 days is not enough for a new Iran nuclear deal

Former U.S. diplomats cautioned this Sunday that the proposed 60-day window for a new Iran nuclear deal is drastically insufficient for a lasting agreement.

Wendy Sherman, who led the 2015 negotiations, noted that even a temporary six-month bridge deal took much longer to finalize than initially planned. Iran currently feels emboldened by its control over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil transit point, which grants them significant regional leverage. Analysts suggest any new agreement might end up resembling the 2015 JCPOA because the technical requirements for nuclear containment remain largely unchanged.

Foreign policy experts are now watching to see if the Trump administration will relax its "maximum pressure" tactics to keep Tehran at the negotiating table.
