Putin was told that until Iran's 7 conditions are fulfilled, not only will no negotiations take place, but the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened either. After the defeat of Trump and the Republican Zionist warmongers, it seems that Iran's position has become much more serious, tough and aggressive. There was no way back. Iran made concessions many times, first showed good will, conducted negotiations, but each time the American side put betrayal and cowardice on the agenda. That era is completely gone. This time it's the turn of the side that started the war and lost.
