Expert Warns Iran Using Negotiations as Power Strategy Not Peace
Piers Morgan Uncensored
"Israel Is DESPISED!" Trump's US-Iran Deal Threatened By Hezbollah Strikes
"I believe Iran is using negotiations, Piers, as a power strategy here. They're not trying to get out and get peace. They're trying to get power. And I think that they are heading in that direction. And what that means is more and more pressure on Trump to pay up."
Political scientist Robert Pape warned Iran views negotiations instrumentally to increase leverage rather than achieve peace, predicting escalating financial demands on Trump. Pape projects Iran will demand full U.S. military withdrawal from the region as pressure mounts. He characterized the current moment as the "middle game of the escalation trap," not the endgame many are celebrating.
