Ruhallah Rahimpour, a journalist and political analyst, said that the American pressure strategy against the Islamic Republic has not changed, but the pattern of its operations has.
According to him, by closing the negotiation path, Washington wants to deny the Islamic Republic the possibility to buy time and force it to change its behavior.
Rahipour mentioned three scenarios facing the Islamic Republic: changing behavior and accepting negotiations, continuation of the current situation and the possibility of going to war.
