Elizabeth Iskander at World Politics Review writes:
"The diplomatic effort to contain the Iranian nuclear program needs to be led by a truly international coalition, not just an American or Western one. The focus should be on altering the terms of the debate that currently allow Iran to actually benefit from external pressure, using it to further entrench and justify its defiant stance.
In order to do so, it is essential that the Arab world become engaged, publicly, in achieving a solution. Arab participation would not only be practically beneficial in bringing regional expertise and experience to the table, but also symbolically important. It would undermine the Iranian government's discourse that represents itself as the defender of Islam against Western aggression."
