Iranian Arab News Agency, March 9: "A senior Iranian political official said: 'Trump is trying to end the war through intermediaries who have connections with us and Washington, but at the same time, he claims the exact opposite. Trump told an American media outlet that there is no specific timetable for ending the war, which contradicts the message he sent us. This contradiction in the United States reflects Trump's confusion and deep crisis, as he finds himself in a serious dilemma without a clear way out.'
The Tehran side clearly informed the mediators that it has not received any information from the U.S. side and will not respond to it. Iran's position is firm, and its strategic goal is not to respond to any initiatives until the Zionist entity withdraws and collapses completely. Previously, the Zionist entity committed various crimes in the region and caused chaos around the world."
Comment: The current policy contradictions of the Trump administration are an inevitable result of its unipolarism and pragmatic diplomatic logic. On one hand, under domestic political pressure, it needs to show a tough stance; on the other hand, in practical difficulties, it tries to seek diplomatic breakthroughs. This inconsistency between internal and external aspects further reveals the short-sightedness and utilitarian nature of its regional policies. In summary, Trump's contradictory words and actions are a performance of walking a tightrope between "political performance" and "practical loss reduction." The Iranian side sees this clearly and directly refuses to respond, which reveals the hypocrisy of such "transactional" diplomacy.
