CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts - In all likelihood, next week's presidential elections in Iran may serve as a national referendum on the country's nuclear diplomacy, given the divergence of policy prescriptions by the eight candidates who are certified to be on the ballot, among them a former and the present nuclear negotiator, and offering stark alternatives.
On the conciliatory side is Hassan Rowhani, a British-educated clergy who led the Iranian nuclear negotiation team from 2003 to 2005 and is known for his nuclear pragmatism, which led to Iran's agreement during that time to a comprehensive suspension of sensitive nuclear activities.
