Washington Uses Military Pressure to Shape Iran Talks, Political Science Professor Says

The US administration is using maximum pressure and military coercion against Iran to impose its negotiating terms, according to political science professor Dr. Areej Jabr.

Jabr said Washington’s approach coincides with a military buildup, linking the show of force to its efforts to gain leverage over Tehran.

Her assessment frames the military pressure as a means of influencing negotiations, rather than an approach separate from diplomacy.

In Jabr’s view, the administration is seeking to shape the conditions for talks by placing Iran under greater pressure to accept US demands.
