The US-Iran peace negotiations are giving everyone whiplash and Mark Hitchcock explains why that’s exactly what Iran wants. Iran’s supreme leader Khamenei has issued 11 conditions that are complete nonstarters for the US. Iran is denying IAEA nuclear inspectors. Ballistic missiles are off the table. The Strait of Hormuz keeps opening and closing. And behind the scenes, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard is quietly building covert terror cells in southern Iraq to attack Gulf states and US forces.
Iran’s strategy has always been simple: talk and delay. And while the world watches the negotiations, the Bible already told us where this is headed.
