Tehran’s Grand Bazaar Shuts Down Amid Rising Tensions in 2025
The Role of International Diplomacy in Ensuring Long-term Peace
Renewed Negotiations and Agreements
Diplomatic engagement is critical for de-escalation:
- Reviving the Iran Nuclear Deal: Negotiations involving Iran, the U.S., European nations, and regional players could restore restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
- Regional Security Frameworks: Establishing multilateral security arrangements to prevent escalation and manage conflicts.
Building Trust and Confidence
Confidence-building measures include:
- Transparency Initiatives: Iran’s compliance with nuclear and regional agreements should be monitored and verified.
- Communication Channels: Maintaining open lines of communication between Iran and the U.S. to prevent misunderstandings.
- Joint Economic Projects: Promoting joint infrastructure or trade projects as confidence builders.
Engaging Non-State Actors
Involving civil society, business communities, and regional organizations can facilitate a more comprehensive peace process.
