But

But she says world powers remain united on a two-track strategy for sanctions against Iran if it continues enriching uranium, but diplomatic and other benefits if it halts such activity.

With what other word can I replace but? 'and' or 'or'?

Thanks

The sentence is poorly constructed, but I think 'or' is a good alternative, with 'and' less desirable.

[(They are) for] sanctions if it continues ..., _?_ benefits if it halts ....

Hmm. I would have said and. or would never have occurred to me.

It's simple. It's good to think about simpler examples.
