Iran affairs researcher Aref Nasr said that Iran had hoped its delegation’s participation in international events and diplomatic activities in New York would lead to a political breakthrough, but the talks failed.

He told Al Arabiya FM that Iran believed its strong presence in New York and at United Nations events might achieve a breakthrough, but diplomatic pressure did not result in the outcome Iran had sought.

Nasr added that the situation inside Iran is very different and marked by an escalatory tone, especially from the Iranian parliament’s National Security Committee. This, he said, indicates that diplomatic moves do not reflect a solid base of support for the Iranian regime, which appears to favor military options over diplomatic solutions.
