On March 2, according to the Wall Street Journal: Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council and currently the most powerful person in Iran, is reportedly contacting Washington through an Omani intermediary, requesting the resumption of nuclear talks.
Comment: At this moment, Larijani's move to seek peace is not a sign of weakness, but a rational choice for survival in a desperate situation. The core leadership has been decapitated, nuclear facilities have been destroyed, U.S. military deaths have led to escalated American retaliation, and domestic stability is under pressure. Iran no longer has the resources to continue the war indefinitely. Fighting is a posture, and talking is a way out. It is a rational behavior for Iran under extreme pressure to publicly show strong retaliation while secretly contacting for negotiations.
