"Experts say that the current standoff is less of a traditional military conflict and more of a strategic wrangle for time, influence and resilience. 'At the moment, both sides are playing a kind of tactical game of patience,' said Middle Eastern expert Hana Voss from Germany's Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung."
"Iran has already been attacked twice while engaging in talks with the US. Now, Iranian leaders are being extremely cautious regarding new negotiations, according to Voss. 'In Tehran, they are very worried that this could be a ploy, as in, talks happening parallel to military preparations,' she told DW."
The diplomatic situation between the US and Iran is complicated, with ongoing ceasefire extensions but stalled peace talks. No new negotiation dates have been set, and Iran has no plans to negotiate with the US. Future discussions will need to address the Iranian nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran aims to monetize. Experts suggest both nations are engaged in a strategic game of patience, with Iran cautious about negotiations due to past military actions during talks.
