11:33Now PlayingIn this Anchor Watch interview, Bobby Jones asks whether diplomacy can still provide a way out of the Iran conflict. Ratner explains that the United States previously had a functioning diplomatic framework that restricted Iran’s nuclear program while providing sanctions relief.
Ratner argues that abandoning negotiations in favor of military force produced a worse strategic outcome. Despite extensive strikes, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted, Iran retains the ability to attack targets, and the United States has no clear military path to restore stability.
The discussion also examines the damage to American credibility. Ratner explains why allies and adversaries may no longer trust Washington to honor diplomatic agreements—and why diplomacy remains the only reliable method for restraining Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
