“It would require a lot of time, a lot of patience, a lot of diplomatic skill.” Ali Vaez, International Crisis Group, says the upcoming talks between the US and Iran in Islamabad may be marred by a deficit of trust on Iranian side and a lack of expertise on US side

Paradise Lost

@paradise-lost.bsky.social

In woe then; that destruction
wide may range:
To me shall be the glory sole
among
The infernal Powers, in one
day to have marred
What he, Almighty styled, six
nights and days
Continued making; and who
knows how long

IX, 134-138
