Ghalibaf theater diplomacy critique

Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf is calling out what he sees as a tired diplomatic loop: threats of a massive attack, then suddenly an offer to negotiate. He calls it “theater diplomacy on loop.” According to him, using bullying, broken promises, and fake news as leverage is a failed strategy. His message: acknowledge the facts, fulfill your commitments, and drop the performance. “We don’t need more theater.”
