Five months into a grinding standoff between Washington and Tehran, both powers now speak in the language of finality. President Trump has framed ongoing negotiations as Iran's last opportunity for a settlement, while a senior Iranian military adviser has warned that a continued naval blockade of Iranian ports will cost American forces in blood. These are not the words of parties moving toward peace so much as parties measuring how close they stand to the edge — and signaling, to each other and to the world, that they know it.
