The front-line approach has failed to achieve its goals, so the United States is now resorting to underhanded tactics! On March 31, according to foreign media reports, as the U.S. continues to fail in achieving its objectives, Secretary of State Rubio openly stepped forward with a statement. Rubio claimed that the U.S. hopes to collaborate with certain individuals within the Iranian government, asserting that the U.S. has privately received positive signals. He pointed out that there are divisions within Iran's Islamic Republic, and the U.S. hopes that capable, action-oriented figures will come to power.

“Some people in Iran are now engaging us in dialogue in ways that past Iranian leaders never did—they’re willing to take concrete actions.” Private messages from Iran differ significantly from public statements. There is indeed information exchange and some direct communication between Iran and the United States. Clearly, the current U.S. position is caught between a rock and a hard place. Rubio’s sudden move clearly aims to incite internal division within Iran.

Rubio’s message is unmistakable: whoever is willing to cooperate with the U.S. will be supported by the U.S. to take power. Undoubtedly, this is an intentional effort by the U.S. to create rifts within Iran. Of course, from Iran’s standpoint, such under-the-table tactics are unlikely to work at all. The truth is obvious—there is deep-seated enmity between Iran and the U.S. Anyone who compromises with America today would almost certainly be seen as a traitor. Such individuals may not even get the chance to assume power before being purged internally.

Moreover, given the conditions offered by the U.S., if these people accept them outright, they would essentially be selling out their country—making it impossible for them to gain any foothold within Iran. Iran is currently actively rooting out spies; those suspected of colluding with the U.S. are now living in fear. It’s pure fantasy for the U.S. to believe that a few promises and empty assurances could successfully turn Iran’s real power figures against their own nation. This very fact indirectly reveals that the U.S. is truly out of options, having exhausted all viable strategies to extricate itself from its current predicament.
