The U.S.-Iraq talks could be restarted, but the results are expected to be minimal

The analyst Alex Alfirraz Scheers stated that, while the Ibero-American negotiations were likely to resume, the core issue was the complete mistrust between the two sides. He said, “I think these negotiations have yielded little. To a large extent, they are almost symbolic; unless substantial progress is made in building trust and enhancing confidence, these negotiations are likely to fail in the current context.” Hills noted that, during the negotiations, the United States and Israel had launched two attacks against Iran and had caused massive destruction. He said, “I believe that Iran's hostility towards the United States is deep-rooted and, to a large extent, fully justified.” Thus, the final outcome of Iran's domestic differences lies in this: whether the United States is trustworthy and whether it can really deliver on any of its commitments.” Kim Xian
