Our Prediction
Within the next 90 days, Iran will make a diplomatic overture to the EU, seeking to leverage European support against US sanctions, but will not succeed in securing significant concessions.
WHERE WE COULD BE WRONG
The prediction could fail if Iran's diplomatic efforts gain unexpected traction with the EU or if internal Iranian dynamics shift to prioritize domestic issues over international relations.
