The regime won’t accept Washington’s terms — no enrichment, the 60% uranium out of the country, a cap on its missiles — until it fears its own people more than American bombs. Any deal it would sign before then is one it can live with, explains @miadmaleki:

IRAN CAN'T WIN THE MILITARY WAR. SO IT'S FIGHTING A DIFFERENT ONE.
“The narrative war that they're winning is actually the one in the West,” warns @FDD_Iran's @therealBehnamBT

On JCFA's East to West, Taleblu explains @smartinezamir how Iran seeks to convince the West that pressure on Tehran is a bigger threat than the regime itself.

My new @nypost op-ed: The Islamic Republic only survives on war. Don't give the regime what it craves.
I spent years at @USTreasury squeezing this regime and I want it gone. That's exactly why the next round of bombs should stay in the racks.
This regime is built to fight, not to govern. A blackout in wartime is a sacrifice the IRGC can police; in a cease-fire, it's a failure the regime must explain.
Hold the blockade. Make them run the country they broke.
