Iran may use dangerous leverage over West: analyst

This may include adverts from us and 3rd parties based on our understanding. The talks in Vienna to revive the 2015 agreement took a bad turn when Iran and the US agreed to a new nuclear enrichment program was halted by the US sanctions and Iran s nuclear enrichment programme. Tehran's new administration increased its levels of uranium enrichment and tabled proposals that US officials called not serious damage to all the progress made in the previous round of talks. Neil Quilliam, a London think tank called Chatham House, said Iran's leverage over the West may bring dangerous consequences.

He told Express.co. How Iran wants to leverage its capabilities and abilities by deploying its various militias in the region and getting those militias for example to exploit security vulnerabilities. We have seen a number of attacks against the US Al-Tanf base in Syria recently, carried out by groups that are supported by Iran. That is where the key vulnerabilities are, that is how it tries to exploit those, US assets, UK military assets, bases out in the region. It is not just military attacks where dangerous leverage is used by Iran. Dr Qulliam said it was playing a dirty and cynical game that it plays of picking up dual nationals and holding them exactly as we have seen with Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.
