Washington’s Iran ‘wish list’ lacks support from allies

Washington’s Iran ‘wish list’ lacks support from allies:

"When US secretary of state Mike Pompeo issued a dozen demands of Iran, he described the requests as “very basic requirements” that were not “unreasonable”, but many observers disagreed. Mr Pompeo framed his requirements as the basis of a grand bargain — seeking to extract massive concessions in exchange for a binding treaty that would deliver lasting economic and diplomatic benefits to Iran. But critics perceive something far more in the Trump administration’s insistence that Tehran give up everything from enriching uranium to its longstanding foreign policy, or else submit to crippling sanctions: a bid to oust the country’s leadership."
