U.S. attempting to reassert regional dominance through Iran pressure; potential shift toward military confrontation if diplomacy fails; regional allies (Gulf states, Israel) watching for U.S. commitment; Iran maintaining resistance posture while facing economic/military pressure.
Similar to 2018-2019 period when Trump withdrew from JCPOA, leading to increased tensions, proxy conflicts, and near-military confrontation (Soleimani assassination); current stalled negotiations mirror pre-escalation patterns.
