Going back to the nuclear deal with Iran is rife with challenges left by the previous Administration, and attempts of avoiding a return are causing fear among regional allies. The Abraham Accords shows the irreconcilable visions of its signatories, as it cannot satisfy the parties\u2019 different interests\u2014and the US has to navigate through them. Israel\u2019s radical approach accepts nothing less than dismantling Iran\u2019s nuclear program; the UAE and Saudi Arabia have softer stances, and have potential for interest convergence with the Biden Administration. Bin Salman is leaning towards negotiations in an attempt to improve his image, while the UAE has softened its approach to avoid isolation and to acquire the position of interlocutor with the US as the Saudis have done. The US could benefit from flexible multilateral interactions with its European and ME allies, and could use the Trump sanctions as leverage in negotiations with Iran regarding its uranium enrichment levels. The US has to take Iran\u2019s demands seriously if negotiations are to be fruitful, but balancing a new nuclear deal with regional allies\u2019 interests is also a priority.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><br
