Iran's Unbeatable Position: War, Victimhood & Negotiation Power!

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]The very fact that Iran didn't start this war gives the Iranians not only the the moral high ground. They didn't shut the Strait of Hormuz. They didn't create this global crisis.

[00:00:10]It it creates a strong sense of Iranian victimhood.

[00:00:16]And Iranians being Shia Muslims already have a strong sense of very powerful sense of standing up to oppression, supporting the oppressed.

[00:00:25]So you're a victim of war, you you have that ideology of supporting the the oppressed. You yourself are being threatened, so you stand up against the aggressor.

[00:00:36]All of that combined makes the Iranian position at the negotiating table much stronger because the government knows that the economy is is facing major difficulties.

[00:00:47]But the Iranian people are resilient, too.

[00:00:50]We could have trouble ahead. Some people may come to the streets saying we need jobs, we have difficulties, but it'll be manageable.

[00:00:58]Whereas on the other side, it's not going to be manageable.

[00:01:01]So all these together make it make the Iranians adamant that they're going to get have have to have a better deal than before. Whether it's on the nuclear issue, whether it's with with regards to the Strait of Hormuz, whether it's with regards to Iranian sovereignty, things will be very different than before.
