The US has intensified pressure on Iran through military strikes, economic sanctions, and strategic control of the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to force Tehran into a new nuclear deal. However, analysts and Iranian officials argue that Iran has adapted and withstood these measures, maintaining its enriched uranium stockpile domestically. Iranian expert Seyed Mohammad Marandi contends that the US has faced setbacks, including seeking ceasefire talks and considering Iran's negotiation proposals, indicating a complex stalemate with no immediate resolution.
