Resistance is not suicide; Bijan Abdulkarimis response to Ahmad Zeidbadis' criticism In the debate about the fate of the war and the future of Iran, Ahmed Zaidbadi and Bijan Abdulkarimi confronted a fundamental question: resistance to the end or negotiation and compromise? Zeidabadi warned that the continuation of the "neither war nor peace" status will lead to the destruction of infrastructure and the loss of national independence. On the other hand, Abdulkarimi described negotiations without backing on the battlefield as a psychological illusion, and emphasized that "the resistance is for development, independence and life - not suicide." Both sides rejected the binary choice between resistance and negotiation, but failed to reach a consensus on the relative roles of battlefield efforts and diplomacy.
