Foreign Affairs publishes analysis from Council on Foreign Relations President Emeritus Richard Haass and NYU climate expert Carolyn Kissane arguing that six months of military attacks and economic coercion have not forced Iran to make concessions, and threats will not change behavior. They call for a diplomatic exit strategy.
“Half a year of alternating military attacks and economic coercion has not forced Tehran and its partners to make concessions, and there is no reason to expect that those strategies—much less threatening to 'annihilate' Iran, as U.S. President Donald Trump did in his UN speech on Tuesday—would compel them to change their behavior today.”

Washington should not try to merely resurrect a memorandum of understanding that it negotiated with Tehran in June. I agree. Resurrection of the MOU is unlikely to work since Trump failed to uphold his end and would likely just fail again if it was renewed. Iran will surely demand to be paid upfront and even more favorable terms.

After signing the MOU on June 17, the U.S. granted Iran oil waivers, lifted its blockade, and helped secured a Lebanon ceasefire on June 19. Iran threw the agreement away by attacking ships in Oman's waters starting June 27th, wrongly assuming the MOU gave it the right to do so.

And how exactly should America "finish it"? How do you propose to do that exactly?
