<< One camp, unofficially led by Vice President Vance, believes a diplomatic solution is both preferable and possible >>

Preferable, yes. Possible, no. At least not with mullah types.

Both sides are right

A diplomatic solution is preferable to the military option.

However, it is highly unlikely that the he Iranians will accept a legit agreement (or any agreement for that matter) to dismantle their nuclear programs so diplomacy has little chance of success. .

The Trump position seems to be, the program is gone - you either dismantle the program or it will be destroyed

One thing that is for certain. After the recent massive, unprovoked missile and drone attacks by Iran and the Houthis, Iran simply cannot be allowed achieve nuclear break out. The Iranians are negotiating to play for time while they execute a joint Iranian, Russian, Chinese and North Korean crash program to field nuclear weapons to join the nuclear club.
