Iran draws missile red line as analysts warn Tehran is stalling U.S. talks

While the U.S. possesses overwhelming military capabilities, Defense Priorities analyst Rosemary Kelanic said Iran is relying on the logic of asymmetric conflict.

“One country is much stronger, but the weaker country cares more,” Kelanic said. “And historically, the country that cares more often wins by outlasting the stronger one.”

“Iran is trying to signal resolve as strongly as it can, but it likely doubts U.S. resolve—because from Tehran’s perspective, the stakes for Iran are existential, while the stakes for the United States are not,” she added.
