There remains a serious chance for a diplomatic solution if the US, in cooperation with the Europeans and thus certainly with the support of the Security Council and the non-aligned states of the Group of 77, offers Iran a “Grand Bargain.” In exchange for long-term suspension of uranium enrichment, Iran and other states would gain access to research and technology within an internationally defined framework and under comprehensive supervision by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
那么应该怎么做呢？如果美国能够与欧洲国家进行合作，特别是争取安理会和77国集团不结盟国家的支持，向伊朗提供一份“优惠协议”，那么仍然切实存在通过外交解决的机会。作为对长期停止铀浓缩试验的补偿，伊朗和其它国家将在国际社会制定的框架结构下在接受国际原子能机构全面监督的条件下，可以获得科研活动以及相关技术。接下来将是政治和经济关系的全面正常化，包括根据地区安全计划签订安全保证。
