Iran is at a crossroads: It can either embrace “realpolitik” through practical, realistic negotiations with the West , or it can “roll the dice” in its quest to become a nuclear power, says Frida Ghitis .

Ghitis: Iran ’s vistas, via its no longer substantial “axis of resistance,” are at best severely compromised.

She asks: Will Iran choose the more plausible path of realpolitika’ or tempt fate in the face of an emboldened Netanyahu and Trump ?.

F. Andrew Wolf Jr. is the director of The Fulcrum Institute , an organization of current and former scholars in the humanities, arts and sciences.

Wolf : With the right diplomatic overtures from the Trump administration, Iran can be brought into the orbit of constructive bilateral relations with the West .
