Elliott Abrams: "There Is No Reason to Make All Sorts of Concessions to Iran"
(JNS) Jackson Richman - U.S. Special Representative for Iran Elliott Abrams told JNS on Tuesday: "President [Trump] always said he anticipated a negotiation with Iran, and the purpose of the ['maximum pressure'] campaign is to build leverage for that negotiation, and we've got it....Without the 'maximum pressure' campaign, I think you would not be seeing the kind of coordination in cooperation you are seeing between Israel, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates." "My hope is that the next administration recognizes that we have the upper hand. Iran's economy is reeling. Iran's people despise this regime....There is no reason that we have to make all sorts of concessions to Iran. They are the ones who need relief. I hope the leverage that has been built up will be used."
