David, what I meant is that in a negotiation, you need to consider the other person's point of view to be able to make a deal. So yes, at least knowing what Iran wants is important to make a deal. Not to name drop, but what I met the Dalai Lama in 2010, he told me the same thing about China!
What Iran needs? Iran needs the destruction of the Jewish state and they will not shy away from anything to achieve this goal. Longer time lines? Obama agreed to a “ timeline” that ended the agreement, I think it was 10 years after signing. Israel cannot agree to any finite end to any agreement and should not be forced to do so, not by Witkoff, Trump or Musk!
Ms. Labott, do we need to consider what the people of Iran need or what the government needs? I don’t think the Mullahs care about their people. Take care.

The question is: is one negotiating with the people, or the government?
Any comparison with an Iran Deal now and what was in place prior to 2016. has to take two things into prime consideration.
Sanctions imposed on Iran and permission to inspect military sites in Iran in order to evaluate compliance with nuclear restrictions.
The JCPOA was conspicuously lacking in both these areas. It effectively meant nothing.
