One item that has not been mentioned regarding the US-Iran negotiations is the issue of territorial sovereignty. Given the invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan and Ukraine, that should be a serious Iranian concern. What if the US offered to guarantee Iran's present borders (including its islands in the Persian Gulf) in return for Iran guaranteeing open passage of international shipping through the Strait of Hormuz?
Iran would also have to give up its offensive military and nuclear weapons programs, but might such a deal be worth it for them? The alternative may be continuous warfare until Israel decides to put an end to the Islamic State.
