This shift comes amid escalating U.S. military threats, a decline in Iran’s regional influence, and mounting domestic pressures on the regime. While Tehran is likely prepared to make concessions on the nuclear file and its regional engagement, its missile program remains the most complex obstacle, as it constitutes the regime’s last pillar of deterrence.
