Tehran is still willing to negotiate, but it is far less prepared to give up its leverage based on American assurances that it has little reason to trust, writes @sinatoossi.bsky.social of @CIPolicy.bsky.social.

commondreams.orgTo End the Iran War, the US Must Understand Tehran's PerspectiveTrump and US war planners misread Tehran’s perception of the war. Iran is not on the verge of collapse; on the contrary, its leaders are now committed to match escalation with escalation until securing a negotiated settlement based on mutual concessions.

Kushner & witkoff have proven they are incapable of diplomacy. Trump refuses to have direct talks with anyone from Iran. The saber rattling and lies are getting old. We all can see trump's dementia is worsening. He's incapapble of resolving one damn thing! The FTD has moved to uncontrollable anger

The Iran War could be ended today by the US simply ceasing its campaign of terror bombings. They won't because they don't want the war to end, they want access to Iranian markets and resources. As with all imperialist wars, it falls on the workers to bring it to an end, not the politicians

exactly. you cannot bomb a country into trusting you, then act shocked when it keeps its leverage. washington tore up the last deal, then threatens a sequel war. negotiation is not weakness, it is the only way out that does not end in funerals.
