Iran will no longer accept endless talks. It is creating deterrence on its own terms
Iran is rejecting prolonged negotiations with the US, citing one-sided agreements and failed diplomacy. Military strikes by the US and Israel have caused significant damage to Iran's infrastructure, but the conflict has imposed heavy costs on the US, including economic disruption and casualties. Iran's strategic calculus has shifted, leading to increased self-reliance in deterrence.
