Why Trust Does Not Matter in U.S.-Iran Negotiations

As the U.S. and Iran negotiate the contours of a potential peace deal, Dr. Jon B. Alterman, the Zbigniew Brzezinski Chair in Global Security and Geostrategy at CSIS, explains why trust matters far more among allies than between adversaries. He underscores how successful diplomacy depends on verification, collective leverage, and the strength of U.S. partnerships, not faith in an opponent’s intentions. --------------------------------------------- A nonpartisan institution, CSIS is the top national security think tank in the world.
