The restrainers say the U.S. should strike a deal with Iran, even if it means offering concessions such as sanctions relief. An agreement like the earlier memorandum of understanding the U.S. negotiated with Tehran would work. If a deal proves impossible, the U.S. should walk away completely and let the region deal with the fallout, this group argues. Iran’s military capabilities have been degraded, so it’s not a total loss for Washington. Why risk more American lives and resources? The U.S. is already running low on key munitions as is.
“We should stop now, cut our losses, and rethink our defense strategy,” said Jennifer Kavanagh of the restraint-focused Defense Priorities think tank.
