Conflict Hits 6 Months: Iran Says Diplomacy Can Return But "Pressure Doesn't Work"
Conflict Hits 6 Months: Iran Says Diplomacy Can Return But "Pressure Doesn't Work" In what will likely prove to be a very limited and ultimately unfruitful diplomatic overture, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has newly announced that Tehran views renewed talks with Washington as not impossible , and that dialogue can actually get on track - but so long as the US understands that pressure does not work. In a Friday post on X, Araghchi acknowledged "creative discussions" with Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al -Thani, wherein the Iranian side expressed that US leadership must respect the Islamic Republic's sovereignty and rights. Iranian state sources " Putting diplomacy back on track isn't impossible . It hinges on U.S. understanding of one simple fact : pressure doesn't work . The U.S. should build trust, speak respectfully, acknowledge our rights, and uphold commitments," Araghchi stated . The talks with the top Qatari delegation happened in Tehran, and according to a summary from Doha's side : Qatar’s Foreign Ministry said talks covered efforts to de-escalate regional tensions and a proposed interim framework establishing “a temporary joint shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz,” alongside a joint operation to clear mines from the strait . Al Thani stressed “the necessity of respecting the sovereignty of neighboring countries and freedom of navigation” and resolving disputes through dialogue. According to Qatar’s readout, Araghchi thanked Doha for its diplomatic efforts supporting dialogue and de-escalation . And yet, President Trump has this week insisted that all mines are already clear from the strait, as a result of the work of the US Navy. It has remained unclear what precise data or confirmation he is relying on. As for Qatar, it along with Pakistan helped broker the memorandum of understanding in June, which has since gone defunct and is also now expired. President Trump had once again on Thursday claimed that Iran is "begging to make a deal" - something which is not evident in any public stance or statements out of Iran. Instead, Iranian officials have continued by and large striking a defiant tone, with the Foreign Ministry on Friday blasting the "economic terrorism" of the Trump administration. " The US abuse of the dollar as a tool to intimidate other countries in order to force them to follow its interventionist policies , which violate international law, in relation to Iran, constitutes a violation of the national sovereignty and right to self-determination of all member states of the United Nations," the statement said . "US sanctions against Iran, due to both their nature and consequences, constitute a flagrant violation of the UN Charter." The NY Times on Friday underscores that Friday is precisely the six month mark of the Iran conflict, writing : It was supposed to be quick . Still, six months after the U.S. and Israel launched massive airstrikes on Iran, the conflict drags on . The Trump administration has replaced its military war with an economic one, but the result is likely to be no different, analysts said, with a lack of American clarity about goals, a decline in American credibility and a strategic defeat . One thing remains constant, however. The ordinary people of Iran are bearing the brunt of the war, victims of both the United States and their own leaders. Postmortem and blame game on another 'war of choice' in the Middle East begins... Meanwhile, some analysts warn that Washington's Iran-related secondary sanctions could have the opposite of the intended effect, and ultimately hasten a global trend of de-dollarization.
