In an interview on India First, former US Ambassador to Iran John Limbert discusses the tensions between the United States and Iran following the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and forty days of bombing. Limbert notes that the current crisis is the inevitable outcome of decades of hostility, stating, "you could say this was a disaster waiting to happen." He observes that the Iranian regime has survived forty-seven years of sanctions, isolation, and assassinations, remaining resilient despite domestic unpopularity. Evaluating the failed talks in Islamabad, Limbert remarks, "it did not look to me like a negotiation," characterising the US approach as a one-sided demand. Drawing on his experience as a hostage for four hundred and forty-four days during the 1979 Tehran crisis, he reflects on the complexities of the aborted Operation Eagle Claw, comparing it to recent pilot rescues. Limbert suggests that both nations must step back from their rhetoric and pursue realistic agreements, potentially revisiting the JCPOA framework.
