The political analyst and university professor stated that the main goal of the U.S. is to force Iran to negotiate and then apply pressure to comply with its demands. In remarks made in Bandar Anzali, this analyst examined the diplomatic approaches of the U.S. and their impacts on Iran, saying: "Threatening methods only strengthen Iran's position and resistance against pressures."
Analysis of U.S. Approaches
This analyst pointed out the history of Iran-U.S. relations, stating that this type of diplomacy has failed in the past and has never been able to achieve Washington's intended goals. He believes that the threatening approach, instead of forcing Iran to compromise, only leads to increased protests and dissatisfaction within the country.

Consequences of Threat Diplomacy
He further added: "Iran knows well that it must be resilient against pressures, and therefore, any kind of threat can lead to unity among the people and the government. This situation is in favor of the Islamic Republic of Iran and negatively impacts U.S. policies."
This analyst also referred to the economic impacts of this approach, stating that sanctions and economic pressures not only do not harm Iran's economy but also help strengthen domestic production and economic independence. He noted that with the increase in sanctions, Iran is moving towards greater self-sufficiency.
Need for a Change in Approach
He emphasized that to reach a sustainable and effective agreement, the U.S. must change its approach and use diplomacy and constructive dialogue instead of threats. This change in approach could lead to a reduction in tensions and an increase in trust between the two countries.
In conclusion, the political analyst stated that threat diplomacy not only fails to achieve U.S. goals but also strengthens Iran's position. He believes that the only real solution to international issues is dialogue and mutual respect.
