Iran War Could Echo Ukraine: Push for an Off‑Ramp and Nuclear Limits

James F. Jeffrey argues that U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran have produced a costly, attrition-based conflict resembling the war in Ukraine, with no decisive victory in sight; to avoid a Russian-style quagmire Washington should pursue a negotiated cease-fire paired with strict limits on Iran’s uranium enrichment, removal of key nuclear material, and caps on ballistic missiles, aiming to stabilize the region while preserving deterrence and alliance cohesion.

Iran's influential security architect Ali Larijani dies in Israeli strike at 67

Ali Larijani, Iran's longtime top national security official and confidant of Ayatollah Khamenei, was killed in an Israeli airstrike at age 67. He helped seal the 2015 JCPOA, led talks with China, and oversaw a harsh crackdown on protests, while acting as a bridge between Iran's rival power factions. Analysts say his death could push Iran further toward hard-line governance, just as Mojtaba Khamenei was named to a leadership role.

Endgames in Iran: Five Paths the War Could Take

The piece outlines five plausible endings to the Iran conflict: a negotiated ceasefire and nuclear deal; a Venezuela-style leadership transition; a popular uprising and possible regime collapse; a special-forces raid to destroy or seize Iran’s nuclear stockpile; and Trump declaring victory and withdrawing, potentially leaving underlying tensions unresolved and requiring regional buy-in to prevent renewed conflict.

Oman mediator says U.S.-Iran nuclear deal is within reach through diplomacy

Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi tells CBS' Face the Nation that a comprehensive U.S.–Iran nuclear agreement is within reach through diplomacy, citing a breakthrough to eliminate stockpiling of enriched material with full IAEA verification and down-blending of stockpiles, and noting a potential three‑month window to implement the deal as Vienna talks proceed; he warns that military action would complicate or delay resolution and says additional time may be needed to finish remaining details.

Rubio tightens messaging as Iran talks loom

Secretary of State Marco Rubio circulated a memo telling Chiefs of Mission to avoid public comments that could inflame regional audiences or derail Iran negotiations, a move seen as a rebuke of Mike Huckabee after his Tucker Carlson remarks; talks in Geneva with US envoys to push Iran to dismantle enrichment sites and accept a permanent agreement appeared largely unsuccessful, with Rubio also planning a trip to Israel.

Trump weighs targeted strikes on Iran to pressure its nuclear path

The Trump administration is weighing limited, targeted strikes on Iran’s nuclear and missile sites to damage its program and prod Tehran toward concessions, with a larger follow-on option possible if talks fail; Trump has signaled a possible diplomatic path in the State of the Union, but officials say there is no clear objective, the plan risks casualties and escalation, and experts doubt diplomacy alone could force Iran to abandon its program.

Trump Tightens Pressure on Iran as Carrier Moves In and Tehran Drills Escalate
