Svmuu News: Iran has officially responded to the 15-point ceasefire agreement proposed by the United States. Does this indicate a softening of Iran’s stance, or is Iran seeking to gain more “leverage” in the negotiations? Furthermore, while advancing the negotiation process, the U.S. may continue to deploy additional troops to the Middle East. What does this trend of “fighting while negotiating” signify? Will the risks of conflict in the Middle East continue to linger? Qin Tian, Deputy Director of the Middle East Institute at the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, analyzed that in the short term, neither the U.S. nor Iran is willing to rashly escalate the war, yet they are also unable to reach a mutually beneficial outcome through negotiations. Both sides intend to postpone resolving the dilemma of how to end the war, first buying time for their own deliberation and decision-making. However, while the resolution is delayed, the risk of an escalation of hostilities between the U.S., Israel, and Iran is also increasing. (CCTV International News)
