Trump's rhetoric emphasizes unilateral US military dominance, potentially weakening negotiating partners' incentives to engage. Vance's diplomatic role suggests parallel tracks. Warning to China indicates US concern about Iran-China military cooperation and reflects broader US-China competition for regional influence.
Similar to the 2018 US withdrawal from JCPOA, where Trump's maximalist rhetoric preceded unilateral action, creating regional uncertainty and strengthening hardliners on both sides.
