All Policy Analysis by Dennis Ross

A deal with Iran may or may not be possible, but convincing Congress to prepare new sanctions without adopting them yet should be much easier.

The agreement is neither a "breakthrough" nor an "abject surrender" but rather "a cap for a cap," with a limited rollback on each side for the next six months.

Dennis Ross, former senior Middle East advisor to President Obama, Olli Heinonen, former deputy director-general of the IAEA, and Robert Satloff debate the terms of an emerging interim nuclear deal with Iran and the implications for U.S. allies in the region.

The administration needs to reassure its allies that the West can reach a limited nuclear agreement without damaging its negotiating position or the sanctions architecture.

A deal struck for its own sake on Tehran's nuclear program would be worse than no deal at all.

Although President Obama should head down the diplomatic road toward a nuclear deal with Iran, he must make exceedingly clear what he will not abide.

It is time to ask those who oppose Syria strikes if they are comfortable with a position that will likely rule out any diplomatic outcome on the Iranian nuclear program.
