Former Iranian FM urges Iran to declare victory and strike deal to end war

Former Iranian FM urges Iran to declare victory and strike deal to end war Former Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif has called on Tehran to “declare victory and make a deal that both ends this conflict and prevents the next one,” in an article published in Foreign Affairs. Zarif, who led Iran’s nuclear negotiations with global powers, set out a roadmap he says could end the war with the United States and Israel on terms favourable to Iran. He suggested Tehran could limit its nuclear programme and reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a full lifting of sanctions, a proposal he argues Washington may now be more willing to consider.
