Iran\u2019s regime<\/a> just told us everything we need to know.<\/p>\n

Within days, Tehran went from signaling that the Strait of Hormuz would remain open to threatening to close it. That reversal is a reminder that the regime cannot be trusted to uphold any deal it signs because its strategy depends on constant threats and keeping the world off balance.<\/p>\n

The issue isn\u2019t what they say. It\u2019s who\u2019s really in charge.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s regime does not operate as a normal state. Its leaders often signal calm to ease pressure or buy time. But the real authority sits with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps<\/a>. The IRGC controls the missiles, the proxy networks, and the ability to disrupt global shipping. When it matters, they decide.<\/p>\n

And they benefit from instability.<\/p>\n

The Strait of Hormuz is<\/a> one of the regime\u2019s most effective tools of coercion. A fifth of the world\u2019s oil flows through it. Iran doesn\u2019t need to shut it down to create a crisis. It just needs to make the threat believable. Even talk of disruption can rattle markets and drive up energy prices.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re seeing now. Tehran signals restraint, then pivots back to escalation. It\u2019s not meant to sow confusion. It\u2019s meant to gain leverage.<\/p>\n

This creates a serious problem for anyone still hoping a new agreement with Iran\u2019s regime will bring lasting stability.<\/p>\n

Deals rely on consistency. The Iranian system is built for the opposite.<\/p>\n

For years, U.S. and European officials have negotiated as if Iran\u2019s commitments on paper would translate into predictable behavior. But the regime\u2019s most powerful actors are not invested in keeping those commitments. This regime was not designed to be constrained, reformed or tamed. The IRGC\u2019s influence depends on sanctions evasion<\/a>, regional militias, and the constant threat of escalation.<\/p>\n

If Washington\u2019s imperative is \u2018no nukes for Tehran,\u2019 then it must recognize that this regime was built not only to chase deadly weapons but to use every tool as power in its dangerous agenda.<\/p>\n

The shift on Hormuz<\/a> makes that reality clear. When forced to choose between appearing cooperative and maintaining leverage, the regime chooses leverage.<\/p>\n

That has direct consequences for U.S. policy.<\/p>\n

ROBERT MAGINNIS: WHY ISLAMABAD TALKS WERE ALWAYS DOOMED TO FAIL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Washington cannot afford to treat diplomacy as an end in itself. An agreement that is not backed by real enforcement, credible military deterrence, and a clear understanding of who holds power in Tehran will not hold. It will be tested, stretched, and eventually broken when the regime decides it can get away with it.<\/p>\n

A regime that turns a vital energy chokepoint into a pressure tool is not a responsible partner. It is the opposite. The back\u2011and\u2011forth over Hormuz is a hard reminder that Tehran\u2019s core strategy is leverage through threat, not cooperation.<\/p>\n

As long as that is how the system is wired, any agreement with this regime will be inherently unstable. Why let the regime decide what the next about-face will be?<\/p>\n

That should also tell us where U.S. policy needs to go. Washington has to stop pretending this regime can be “managed” with better communiqu\u00e9s and slightly tougher clauses. The problem is not the wording of the deal. The problem is the nature of the regime that signs it. And regardless of how many of their high-ranking leaders have been killed, it is still the same regime.<\/p>\n

So negotiations should not be treated as a path to stabilizing this leadership, but as a temporary tool while we tighten pressure for its eventual replacement. Any new deal with the current rulers in Tehran will follow the same script of brief restraint when it suits them, followed by another round of \u2018diplomacy\u2019 the moment they need leverage. A serious strategy would focus on weakening the regime\u2019s grip at home, targeting its security apparatus and economic lifelines, and openly backing the Iranian people who keep risking their lives to challenge it.<\/p>\n

The fight over Hormuz is a reminder of how this regime will treat every agreement it signs, right up until the day it is finally gone.<\/p>\n
