De ce rămâne Iranul sfidător în fața SUA? (Op-ed)

Iran is unwilling to reopen the Strait of Hormuz until the U.S. meets its demands, including lifting sanctions and providing war reparations. Tehran's strategy involves maximalist claims to shift negotiation dynamics, while maintaining internal political control through external tensions. The regime's partnerships with China and Russia enhance its resilience against sanctions, allowing it to adopt aggressive stances in negotiations. Iran's historical adaptability to sanctions has reduced the urgency for concessions, and it draws lessons from the Ukraine conflict regarding resistance against external threats.
