The NYT piece accuses Trump of leaving no room for diplomacy.
Which is nothing but a lie & an obvious NYT tactic.
NYT prefers a return to the Obama years.
Read this thread about how I, as an Iranian, feel about the Obama years.
Of course, I expect nothing else from NYT, with its ties to Iran’s regime.
This thread explains.
For the record, here’s the NYT piece literally defending Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons and going the distance to blame U.S. President Donald Trump.
Typical NYT rhetoric.

As a reminder, let’s review the demands raised by the U.S. from Iran and see if they are irrational.
state.gov/after-the-deal…
“Iran must declare to the IAEA a full account of the prior military dimensions of its nuclear program, and permanently and verifiably abandon such work in perpetuity.”
If Iran has nothing to hide, open all your sites.
Good read here:

“Second, Iran must stop enrichment and never pursue plutonium reprocessing. This includes closing its heavy water reactor.”
Reminder:
Iran has the world’s 2nd largest natural gas & 4th largest oil reserves.

“Third, Iran must also provide the IAEA with unqualified access to all sites throughout the entire country.”
While there is much dispute about what Iran has agreed to in regards to inspections, let’s keep it simple.
If you have nothing to hide, what is the concern?
“Iran must end its proliferation of ballistic missiles and halt further launching or development of nuclear-capable missile systems.”
Considering how Iran is providing arms to Hezbollah, the Houthis & other militia groups, this is a no brainer.
“Iran must release all U.S. citizens, as well as citizens of our partners and allies, each of them detained on spurious charges.”
It has become quite obvious that taking dual nationals & foreigners as hostage is a known tactic of Iran’s malign rulers.
“Iran must respect the sovereignty of the Iraqi Government and permit the disarming, demobilization, and reintegration of Shia militias.”
Here’s a good read (from the Obama years) on Iran’s dangerous influence in Iraq.

“Iran must also end its military support for the Houthi militia and work towards a peaceful political settlement in Yemen.”
Read this thread on how the NYT lies about Iran’s obvious bellicosity in Yemen.
“Iran, too, must end support for the Taliban and other terrorists in Afghanistan and the region, and cease harboring senior al-Qaida leaders.”
A good read on Iran’s relations with the Taliban.

“Iran, too, must end the IRGC Quds Force’s support for terrorists and militant partners around the world.”
Qassem Suleimani is the IRGC Quds Force commander.
Here’s a long but very good read on this dangerous individual.
newyorker.com/magazine/2013/…
“… Iran must end its threatening behavior against its neighbors – many of whom are U.S. allies.”
Following the recent tension escalation in the region by Iran’s IRGC & its proxies, this is a definite must.
My latest read on this matter.

Final thoughts:
Whatever your opposition with the policies of U.S. President Donald Trump, nothing should plunge you to the abyss of becoming a mouthpiece for the ruthless and utterly hated regime ruling Iran.
