Political analyst Negar Mortazavi, a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy, stated that negotiations between Tehran and Washington are becoming more serious, with Iran demonstrating increased flexibility, including an offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days. Mortazavi noted that Tehran is prepared to make concessions but not to capitulate under pressure, while President Trump continues to demand what she described as Iranian surrender rather than a compromise. She warned that the risk of another US-Israeli attack remains high unless Trump changes his approach.
