Exactly right.
Washington still lives in the fantasy that threats and sabre-rattling work on Tehran.
Iran continues advancing its interests โ including the Hormuz corridor talks with Oman โ despite all the noise.
Strength and resolve speak louder than empty threats.
The notion that Trump's threats carry weight in Tehran is a delusion that Washington stubbornly clings to, despite all evidence to the contrary. His repeated sabre rattlingย has always been followed by humiliating retreats because he knows Iran is not intimidated.
