Iranian-American analyst Fereshteh Pezeshk stated at an event hosted by Iran International that the U.S. should prioritize addressing Iran’s political system rather than its nuclear and missile programs. She argued that these programs are symptoms of the broader identity of the Islamic Republic and that focusing solely on them overlooks systemic issues. She warned of potential instability similar to a Taliban-like scenario if Iran’s leadership were removed, and expressed concerns about the lack of a coherent U.S. strategy to manage a possible transition. Prediction markets currently price the likelihood of a U.S.-Iran deal including reconstruction funding by 2026 at 29% YES, unchanged from the previous day but slightly up from 26% a week ago.
