In less than 24 hours, Iran and the United States could sit down — directly or indirectly — to discuss the fate of Iran’s nuclear program in Oman. But even before talks have begun, Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu is pushing hard for a completely different approach: a Libya-style disarmament plan for Tehran. Why is Netanyahu advocating a strategy that ultimately led to Gaddafi’s downfall? Is Donald Trump supportive of this hardline vision? And more importantly, what does all of this tell us about the future of diplomacy, war, and the very stability of the Middle East? As nuclear stakes rise and divisions deepen within Washington, we break down what’s at play — from Iran’s growing uranium stockpiles, to its aggressive ‘Axis of Resistance’ strategy, to the internal debates raging inside the White House. Will Oman become the birthplace of peace — or the prelude to war? Ananya Dutta decodes the latest episode of Grey Zone.
