As nuclear negotiations between Washington and Tehran collapse over a foundational disagreement about sequencing, Iran's military leadership has turned to the language of threat and spectacle — unveiling warnings of a new weapon and cataloguing waves of retaliatory strikes. The impasse is not merely tactical but philosophical: Iran insists the nuclear question must wait until the guns fall silent, while the United States refuses to separate the two. In this collision of incompatible logics, the space between diplomacy and escalation grows narrower by the day.
