In order to bring some semblance of stability to the Middle East, the US must think beyond the framework nuclear agreement with Iran and develop, with all stakeholders, a collective security regime – an initiative that will require the US to regain the trust of its allies in the region. In reality, the key question has never been when Iran will develop a nuclear weapon, but how to integrate it into a stable regional system before it does.
为了给中东带来些许稳定的外表，美国必须超越与伊朗形成框架核协议的思维，与所有相关利益方构建一个集体安全机制——这一机制需要美国重新赢得所有中东盟友的信任。在现实中，关键问题从来不是伊朗何时开发出核武器，而是如何在它拥有核武器之前将它纳入稳定的地区体系中。
