The failure of negotiations between Iran and the United States on April 12 reveals a critical reality: For the Iranian regime, peace is not a solution – it is a threat.
Far from seeking de-escalation, Tehran remains deeply committed to a long-time strategy built on three pillars: its nuclear program, its ballistic missile development and its network of proxy forces.
As Maryam Rajavi, leader of the opposition National Council of Resistance of Iran, noted on March 26, this strategic framework is not negotiable for the regime. Recent moves, including the promotion of Khamenei's son as a potential successor, further signal continuity rather than change.
