Hardline Iranian MP Dr. Amirhossein Sabeti is sounding the alarm: negotiating with Donald Trump is a trap. Following Trump’s 15-day ultimatum for a new deal, Sabeti argues that "the thousand-and-first reason" to walk away has arrived.
He views the deadline as a lose-lose setup. Either Trump has already decided on military action and wants a diplomatic excuse, or he is using "maximum pressure" to bully Iran into submission. According to Sabeti, talking under these threats is neither honorable nor effective.
His solution? Stop playing the "failed recipe" of diplomacy. Instead, Iran should signal its readiness for a 120-day war of attrition. Sabeti believes the only way to prevent a strike is to prove that any conflict will be long, costly, and painful—precisely what the U.S. wants to avoid.
