Analyst: Trump's Iran talks hide defeat
The article analyzes American analyst Elliott Abrams' discussion of the U.S. negotiations with Iran. He emphasized that Trump's desire to quickly end the confrontation with Iran to facilitate oil flow and reduce prices led to a decline in the U.S. negotiating stance. He explained that Iran exploited this approach to demand an agreement allowing it to utilize the Strait of Hormuz, thereby enhancing its regional dominance and increasing its ability to impose tolls on Gulf countries. He also noted that Iran's internal weakness—amid ongoing protests and doubts about its regime—strengthens its bargaining position. Despite America's attempts to cut off Iran's funding sources through oil sanctions, the weak American response and Trump's administration's reluctance to use force have hindered achieving decisive results. This situation exposes the region to risks of Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz, undermining U.S. global influence, and threatening the stability of the Gulf and the Middle East overall.
