Iran is reportedly employing a strategy mirroring North Korea's approach to nuclear weapons development, characterized by stalling negotiations to gain time. North Korea successfully developed a nuclear bomb despite talks, with its 2022 doctrine authorizing launches if its leaders are attacked, a strategy Kim Jong Un now references to justify his actions.
An analyst warns that Tehran is following this "playbook," using current negotiations with the United States as a delaying tactic to advance its nuclear program and achieve "unheard-of leverage and blackmail" in the Middle East. The article highlights a recent incident where President Trump announced a "great settlement" with Iran, only for Iran's official news agency to immediately contradict his claims, leading Trump to accuse Iran of dishonesty and negotiating in bad faith. This situation underscores the US's historical challenge in deterring nuclear proliferation without resorting to military conflict, as seen with North Korea.
