Additionally, recent indirect talks in Oman were disrupted by external aggression, further eroding confidence in American commitments. These experiences contribute to Iran’s cautious approach, prioritizing national security over negotiations perceived as potentially futile. Without a significant shift in the US’s tactics, Iran is unlikely to engage in discussions, underscoring the need for genuine dialogue and respect to improve relations.
