🇺🇸/IRAN - On US-Iran Negotiations
You cannot negotiate with serial killers and compulsive thieves thus you cannot negotiate with the US establishment.
All you can do is buy time to build up the physical force required to defend yourself from their inevitable renewed violence.
If Iran thinks it can achieve anything besides buy time to rebuild and rearm it is making a catastrophic mistake.
The idea that the US "cares" about the Strait of Hormuz being closed and is "afraid" of it remaining closed - and somehow everything is "different" now - runs contra to America's own stated and openly pursued global policy - to maintain primacy by impeding the development of the multipolar world since it is impossible for the US itself to keep up let alone surpass the multipolar world's rise.
The US is already imposing blockades elsewhere around the globe and blowing up pipelines in Europe to create and exploit energy crises - what makes anyone think Hormuz is "different?"
The US needs a pause primarily because of its munition shortages and limitations on its military capabilities - just like 2025.
The US uses talks and negotiations for a multitude of its own purposes - none of these purposes include coexistence, peace, or stability.
The US seeks to buy time to create the illusion of diplomacy, which then creates complacency among its victims, and even begins creating a new pretext for further war.
"We gave them another chance, they didn't take it!"
Time allows stockpiles of munitions to refill (US munition stockpiles are low but never zero) and for the US to move in the necessary military capabilities to exploit what they've learned during their last round of aggression.
It also creates a window of opportunity for the US to attack Iran during "negotiations" through its proxies (Israel in this case) affording the US plausible deniability.
The US uses talks to place its victims in a position of vulnerability before striking again and again.
It has done this already and repeatedly to Iran, previously to Syria, Libya, and Iraq.
The one country the US had sought to overthrow it now no longer can is North Korea - not because of negotiations but because of North Korean nuclear deterrence backed by China's proximity and willingness to support North Korea.
Even still the US maintains programs attempting to subvert North Korea internally and isolate it globally.
North Korea proofed itself against the unchanging nature of the US - not try to change that nature - because it can't be changed.
If things like sanctions, limits on military capabilities, the presence of US troops near Iran's borders remain in place so does the US' intentions to use all of these advantages for further attacks unless sufficient deterrence is created.
Buying time to build that deterrence is wise.
Thinking talks will buy or change anything else is not.
