Arabic version: هيكل اتخاذ القرار في إيران يؤثر على المفاوضات

Iran’s negotiators follow a mandate set by the Supreme National Security Council and approved by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. This structured approach contrasts with the US negotiation team, which is led by President Trump’s confidants who lack extensive technical expertise.

According to Al Jazeera, the Iranian side perceives Trump’s involvement in negotiations as a tendency to “move the goalposts,” complicating the dialogue process. This perspective underscores the challenges faced in reaching a consensus between the two nations.

The differences in negotiation styles and the levels of expertise among the teams highlight the complexities involved in international diplomacy, particularly in sensitive matters such as security and nuclear agreements. As both sides continue to navigate these discussions, the influence of internal decision-making structures remains a critical factor in shaping outcomes.
