The Pentagon's line is still: we are winning, we do not need to negotiate, we negotiate with bombs. The harder claim is that this blindness is exactly why America loses. Iran is not trying to make the world conform to one military plan. Iran uses military moves to reshape economics, politics, and narrative.
