A deal between the US and Iran may sound unlikely right now, but the actual landing zones are clearer than they look.
The Strait of Hormuz is a pressure point, but trying to control it long term would risk huge international blowback. Sanctions relief could give both sides something practical to trade. And on the nuclear issue, there are still possible routes through inspections, enrichment limits, stockpile controls and staged verification.
The hard bit is not always the technical detail.
It is trust.
It is domestic politics.
It is whether leaders can choose diplomacy without looking weak to their own side.
Could a managed deal still beat escalation?
