Nides Says Negotiations Is Needed for Iran War

Former US Ambassador Tom Nides discusses the Iran conflict, arguing that only a negotiated diplomatic solution can reopen the Strait of Hormuz and address Tehran's nuclear program. He dismisses regime change as impractical, notes that rising oil prices reflect the standoff, and highlights Israeli PM Netanyahu's growing domestic political pressure as the war without clear resolution continues. - Nides argues there is no lasting military solution to the Iran conflict; only diplomacy can work. - Oil prices have been rising as the conflict escalates and the Strait of Hormuz remains at risk. - Regime change in Iran is not a practical near-term objective, despite administration statements. - Reopening the Strait of Hormuz requires bringing Iran to the negotiating table with regional allies. - Nides says a 2015-style JCPOA deal would likely be acceptable to President Trump but is not happening. - Israeli PM Netanyahu faces voter disappointment and political pressure as the war drags on with no clear benefit.
