Basically another spin to say that this finding (that basically blows the lid off of the administration’s “urgency” and “spin” aimed at ratcheting up fear and paranoia) is not what it is; it’s REALLY a vindication of the administration’s approach all along. Beautiful.
So the combination that the intelligence community says is most likely to work is pressure, plus a negotiating option. That continues to be the case to this day. But at some point, Iran has to indicate a willingness to sit down and negotiate. And that’s what we have not yet seen.
