Iran Speaker: Tehran’s Goal Is Neither Endless War Nor Protracted Talks

The framing itself is the signal: by ruling out both open-ended conflict and open-ended diplomacy, Tehran is defining its objective as a bounded outcome rather than a process. That distinction matters for anyone tracking regional risk, because it suggests the relevant question is not whether talks continue but what terms would end them. No specifics were offered, so the practical read is limited — whether this posture translates into concrete movement, or remains a rhetorical position while tensions persist, is the open question.
