Why did negotiations between Iran and America fail?🛑
The reason why the negotiations between Iran and America failed is that when Trump came down from the war tree to the negotiating table after his military magazine was burned, he refused to recognize the new equation on the ground, an equation that clearly favored Iran, which holds the biggest and most important card in the negotiations, which is the "Strait of Hormuz" card.
In the previous negotiations before the war in the Sultanate of Oman, Iran did not have the letter of the Strait of Hormuz, and on the contrary, America had two letters of the need, which were the military letter and the economic letter, which was expressed in the lifting of sanctions on Iran in exchange for Iran's share of power, but America lost these two letters in the negotiations in Islamabad, because firstly the military option failed, and secondly because Iran has actually lifted the economic sanctions on itself, through smart investments in the Strait of Hormuz, that investment has made Iran the only country in the region that exports oil in complete freedom at high market prices, rather it has enabled it to control the level of oil and gas exports to the Gulf and impose tariffs on ships passing through the Strait, and as a result Iran no longer needs to lift the sanctions on the American side, but America now wants Iran to lift its economic blockade on the Gulf countries "participating partners in the American aggression", and stop punishing the American economy and the world economy in general by punishing the "Gulf" economy!!
The gist is that America came to Islamabad's talks without any pressure letters, and conversely the Iranian negotiator's hands were doubled with pressure letters, and as a result the scene can be summarized with the following phrase:
The negotiations failed because America refused to acknowledge the loss of its letters, and because it tried to gain through negotiations the gains it failed to gain through war, and this is absurd, while Iran won powerful letters in war, and it is absurd to lose these letters in negotiations.
Iran has emerged victorious on the battlefield, and it is natural that it will be the strongest at the negotiating table.
