## Resource

With the U.S. extending a ceasefire indefinitely and peace talks with Iran stalled, the path forward is more uncertain than ever. As tensions rise in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran hardens its stance, demanding an end to sanctions and the U.S. blockade before negotiations resume. Meanwhile, global markets react to every headline and military posturing intensifies. Is diplomacy simply buying time—or delaying the inevitable confrontation with Tehran’s leadership? In this episode, we break down the geopolitical stakes, the power struggle inside Iran, and whether a decisive outcome is even possible.
