How convenient. Powell is the man who is in large part responsible for the Chagos Archipelago (British Indian Ocean Territory) handover to Mauritius. It's his deal and he is being savaged for it, especially by the Trump administration. Now, while under immense pressure to rip up the deal, he has special insight on the failed Iran negotiations. This man has misjudged. Iran made similar offers previously and had retracted them when it came time to finalize the offer. Iran had this down to an art form, leading negotiators on, only to pull back after months of discussion. This was Iran's strategy over a decade: Drag the. negotiations out and then come up with a reason not to proceed. Iran also refused to stop funding terrorist groups, to stop interfering in Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, and Iraq.He did not mention that.
