Abstract

The article focuses on concerns raised by former diplomats regarding Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff's roles as U.S. envoys in Iran nuclear negotiations, highlighting their lack of diplomatic and nuclear expertise. Critics argue that their business backgrounds and limited understanding of historical and technical complexities hinder progress, risking prolonged conflict and global instability. Key negotiation challenges include disagreements over uranium enrichment limits and verification measures, with experts emphasizing the need for clear strategic goals and informed, candid advice to the president. The White House defends Kushner and Witkoff's record, citing their involvement in peace efforts and detainee returns.
