Former US Middle East negotiator Aaron David Miller told The Times that there is “no simple option for a diplomatic solution” to the ongoing war, underscoring the lack of a clear political pathway to de-escalation. Turning to Iran, Miller said leadership within the Islamic Republic “appears cohesive and unified,” adding that it seems determined to continue imposing as many costs as possible. His remarks highlight concerns that Tehran is prepared for a long-term confrontation rather than a rapid settlement.
