Dr. Mohamed Saleh Sadqian said President Donald Trump does not want to end the ongoing war between the United States and Iran [1].
This assessment suggests a fundamental misalignment in diplomatic goals. If the U.S. administration is uninterested in a resolution, the risk of prolonged instability or escalation in the region increases despite Iranian efforts to avoid conflict.
Speaking on the Al Jazeera Arabic YouTube channel, Sadqian, who serves as the director of the Arab Center for Iranian Studies, said the current state of tensions [1]. He said that Iran prefers a diplomatic path to resolve the situation and seeks solutions that would prevent a full-scale war [1].
However, Sadqian said that U.S. proposals contain specific technical differences that hinder a breakthrough [1]. According to Sadqian, these gaps are not merely administrative, but are indicative of the U.S. president's lack of desire to conclude the conflict [1].
The analysis highlights a divergence in strategic intent. While Tehran pursues a diplomatic exit to maintain stability, the technical nature of the U.S. offers may serve as a barrier to actual peace [1]. This dynamic suggests that the current framework for negotiations may be designed to maintain pressure rather than achieve a final agreement.
Sadqian's observations point to a cycle where diplomatic gestures are made, but the underlying terms remain unacceptable to the opposing side [1]. This pattern continues to define the volatile relationship between the two nations.
“President Donald Trump does not want to end the war between the United States and Iran”
The analysis by the Arab Center for Iranian Studies suggests that the U.S. is utilizing 'technical' hurdles in diplomatic proposals to avoid a definitive peace agreement. This indicates a strategy of managed tension rather than resolution, placing the burden of escalation or de-escalation on Iran's willingness to accept unfavorable terms.
