    Exactly. Which is why their demands are only going to be bigger now. They’re going to assume that any concessions they get will only be good until next time Trump tears up the deal or attacks them in the middle of negotiations, so they’re going to maximise the benefit they get for as long as they get it.

      Why would they entertain peace talks at all? Israel has murdered Iran’s top negotiator, and Trump is obviously compromised by Israel.

      No, the smart play here is to just keep the straight closed to American and Israeli traffic and allies while looking for opportunities for their own decapitation strikes.

      Once someone else is in power, then negotiations can resume.

        Never put your enemy on death ground. If Iran decide to point blank refuse any notion of a compromise that basically leaves Trump with no other (face saving) option other than full scale invasion. Iran have negotiated very smartly throughout this whole situation, I expect they’ll continue to do so.
