In international negotiations, parties often miscalculate their adversaries' resolve by assuming they will avoid military action during sensitive political periods like elections; however, leaders with strategic options (such as military re-attack) maintain leverage that can be exercised regardless of political timing, making prolonged negotiations a strategic error for those who underestimate the opponent's willingness to use force.

Gen Jack Keane: The President has THAT card to play…Added:
The Iranians, despite all the punishment we've given them, they are emboldened and but I I mean they think because they shut down the Straits of Hormuz, they have leverage over the United States.
And what they want to do here is stretch out these negotiations as long as possible.
>> Yep. And why is that? Because reduce the likelihood that the president would re-attack as it gets closer to our election. Iranians, just like Russians and Chinese, pay a lot of attention to what's going on in the United States. That, in my judgment, Stuart, is a miscalculation. Okay.
Because they then are don't do not understand the president. The president has leverage here over them in terms of how much financial relief he gives them in return for the deal he wants to achieve. But the other leverage is what they think will not happen will happen if this deal folds. And that is re-attack. And the president has that card to play and it's right there.
That's the basic framework of where we are.
