Emad El-Din Adeeb: Iran's military weakened but negotiation stronger with six cards

The article discusses Iran's military position and negotiating power in the context of the ongoing war with the United States. It clarifies that Iran has become militarily weaker due to disparities in capabilities and military spending, despite attempts to negotiate on key issues such as uranium enrichment, ballistic missiles, and strategic matters like the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. However, Iran still holds certain cards, most notably an unknown stockpile of uranium, high-precision missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads, and indirect strikes against Gulf countries as part of its strategic approach. The article indicates that Iran relies on the concept of "patience weapon" and promotes a slogan of endurance, despite ongoing threats. It operates with a hostage-like mentality to pressure the United States, even as its military strength diminishes and its bargaining power increases. It emphasizes that Iran has endured massive military strikes over the past two weeks, yet its strategy remains focused on negotiation as a means of protection, despite the hardline stance of Iranian society against negotiations with Washington, which some consider a betrayal.
