Iran showed up to the talks like it was holding all the cards

The most interesting thing about the latest US-Iran talks is not what was said at the table.

It is what happened before anyone sat down.

Iran reportedly made the US delegation wait.

Skipped the handshake.

Stuck to its demands.

Then walked out when talks became heated.

Whether you like the Iranian government or not, the message was obvious:

“We think we have leverage.”

And honestly, they might.

For years, people focused on missiles, drones, proxies, and military power.

But the real weapon has always been geography.
