Thinking the unthinkable: Improved US-Iran relations under Trump?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : But it also would be a mistake to assume that the conditions in 2025 are the same as those in 2015, when, as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was being signed, Iran held many more cards than it does today.
48% : The threat of looming snapback UN sanctions specified in the 2015 JCPOA agreement, which is set to expire in October, gives Iran additional incentives to negotiate with the Americans in good faith -- and with alacrity.
36% : Despite Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's earlier rhetorical dismissal of negotiations with the US as "unwise" and "dishonorable," the reality on the ground suggests a very different picture: he cannot afford to reject diplomacy, hence the unprecedented swift acceptance of starting talks with Washington after Trump sent him a letter in early March.
19% : For now, Khamenei's main concern on the American question seems to be whether Trump is serious about a compromise with Tehran, and one that will not humiliate Iran and Khamenei entirely.
