Foreign Policy Research Institute Proposals for Strategic Change in US Behavior in the Middle East:
"Although Iran has so far posed major challenges to US national security, it is unwise for the United States to focus on Iran and ignore Russia. So while this may seem like a defeat and a disgrace, the United States must quickly de-escalate tensions with Iran, return its issues with Iran to diplomatic avenues such as JCPOA, take its military from the Middle East and focus on Russia and Europe.”Aaron Stein - Middle East Program Director
