Senior fellow Ross Harrison of the Middle East Institute stated that the recent US-Israeli attacks on Iran have rendered the previous basis for nuclear negotiations irrelevant. He explained that earlier discussions between the United States and Iran were built on mutual interests—Washington sought to limit Iran’s nuclear program, while Tehran wanted security assurances and economic benefits. The ongoing conflict, however, has disrupted that balance.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, Harrison said that after being attacked, Iran’s approach has changed and the previous Geneva negotiation framework no longer applies. He added that both the United States and Israel have influenced the Middle East’s geopolitical landscape through their actions. The conflict began after joint US-Israeli airstrikes in Iran last February, coinciding with indirect nuclear talks in Switzerland.
Harrison also noted that targeted killings tend to harden Iran’s stance, a pattern observed in previous confrontations. The evolving situation suggests that any renewed dialogue will face significant challenges under the new realities.
