Iran
For the greater good, Tehran must be allowed to keep some of its nuclear capability, says former foreign secretary Jack Straw
David Cameron’s meeting today with the Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani – the first such since the 1979 Iranian Revolution – is very welcome ( wow) If it presages a recognition that common interests between the UK and Iran on regional security, bilateral relations and the nuclear issue should override historic difficulties, its consequences will be very significant indeed.
The stakes are high. A failure to agree a deal with Iran in the long-running nuclear negotiations, due to conclude in eight weeks’ time, risks being one of the foreign policy blunders of the decade
