AIIranian affairs researcher Dr. Hani Suleiman said Iran has sought to swap certain negotiation files for new ones, aiming to distract US negotiators with details and buy time.
Speaking to Al Arabiya FM, he added that Iran might be willing to make concessions regarding the Strait of Hormuz, while offering less on other issues, if it means reaching understandings on its nuclear program.
He noted that Iran may focus on minimizing losses in critical areas such as the nuclear file, and cautioned that statements by officials in Tehran intended for domestic audiences should not be taken at face value.
Iranian leaders’ rhetoric to their domestic audience often emphasizes resilience and deterrence capabilities.
