Analysis: Iran's dilemma on nuclear deal

An analysis of Iran's current strategic position highlights a core dilemma facing the regime. The country's economy is under severe strain from the US blockade, with a collapsing rial, growing shortages, and delayed salaries. Accepting a deal to lift sanctions would provide economic relief but would require concessions on the nuclear file, which Tehran views as a key source of deterrence and regional power. The regime is thus caught between two threatening choices: economic collapse or strategic capitulation.
