Ahmadinejad reiterated that Iran can still reach a nuclear deal with the West if the West stops threatening Iran.
Sure, Ahmadinejad drags out the negotiations to gain time, but in one respect he is right: almost no country has ever given way to threats, and Iran certainly cannot give in to sanctions. Such a retreat would end Iran’s political credibility and ruin its regional hegemony. The sanctions have no chance to succeed.
