Trita Parsi, president of the National Iranian American Council, discusses NIAC’s report on why sanctions on Iran aren’t working; how Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been backed into a political corner where he can’t make concessions; why the US doesn’t need a “Nixon goes to China” diplomatic breakthrough (as advocated by Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett) to avert war; and how the US’s all stick, no carrot sanctions policy has given influential Iranians little incentive to push for change.
