## Resource

KT McFarland outlines a potential multilateral diplomatic framework intended to restrain Iran’s nuclear ambitions through rigorous oversight. The proposed strategy shifts away from previous models by securing the regional cooperation of Gulf Arab nations, whose involvement is essential for monitoring financial records and providing an enforcement mechanism for non-compliance. McFarland argues that a viable agreement must be predicated on the assumption of Iranian deception, necessitating anytime, anywhere snap inspections and the immediate threat of military action against suspect facilities.
