Beni Sabti, a researcher on Iranian affairs at INSS, claims that the US-Iran negotiations are largely a strategic game for Iran, characterized by political maneuvering rather than imminent conflict. He argues that Iran utilizes delay tactics in nuclear talks and emphasizes their ability to propose compromises while maintaining diplomatic flexibility. Despite Israeli military capabilities and rising tensions, Sabti believes that there are ongoing backchannel discussions between Israel and the US, suggesting a potential diplomatic resolution rather than military confrontation.
