President Trump keeps threatening Iran that if they don’t agree to terms, we’ll restart the bombing. That’s presented as US leverage over the IRGC to come to the table. But what if Iranian leadership sees it the other way around believing that Trump wants, even needs, an end to the war more than they do? This shift might give us an idea to the Iranian strategy playing out right now and in turn, what to watch for and what to expect going forward.
