Will Washington use the war to pressure Iran in the nuclear talks?

As war reignites between Iran and Israel, another front may be opening—diplomatic pressure. The question now facing Washington: can this conflict be used as leverage to restart the stalled nuclear negotiations with Iran?

Amid the rising tensions, Pulse TV sat down with Dr. Farzin Nadimi, Senior Fellow at The Washington Institute and expert in Iranian military affairs. In this exclusive interview, Dr. Nadimi explains how the military confrontation could shift Iran’s strategic calculations—and whether the U.S. sees this as an opportunity to push for concessions on Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

With Israel calling for strong international support and Tehran warning of escalation, Washington stands at a critical crossroads: pursue pressure or seek diplomacy. Could the current conflict offer new leverage in future nuclear talks? Or will it push Iran further away from the negotiating table? From proxy battles to backroom diplomacy, Pulse TV unpacks the stakes, the strategy, and the signals from both Tehran and D.C.
