Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : It is also likely that the EU nations, the United States, and other countries with an interest in first-hand Iran reporting will discourage journalists from accepting prospective Tehran-based assignments pending some sort of agreement on the universal sticking points that have induced the current dilemma.
50% : The same applies to Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States, as well as other countries where public attention to Iranian affairs remains inevitable, but a lack of regular access means media organizations must constantly justify to their audiences why their Iran commentary is so abstract, laden with generalities and devoid of facts.
45% : This cannot be facilitated in the absence of diplomatic and political safeguards that introduce accountability and preserve the chances of compelling communication.
44% : It is also possible to ask the non-Persian-speaking international correspondents in London, Brussels, and Washington, DC to make the most of their writing sophistication, extensive contacts, and OSINT extraction skills and raise some public awareness of Iran.
