Iran and the Limits of American Power

The international community was watching closely whether the US and Iran could reach an agreement through diplomatic negotiations in Geneva. However, the planned talks have already been called off, underscoring the fragility of the current diplomatic process and the difficulty of translating military pressure and back-channel negotiations into a sustainable political settlement. The cancellation does not eliminate the possibility of future diplomatic engagement, but it demonstrates that the central challenge of the conflict extends beyond the immediate question of whether Washington and Tehran can prevent further escalation.
