Analysis: The US and Iran may be entering a phase of fighting while negotiating.

PANews reported on March 27 that, according to CCTV International News, Iran has officially responded to the 15-point ceasefire agreement proposed by the United States. Does this signify a softening of Iran's stance, or does it indicate that Iran wants to gain more leverage in the negotiations? Furthermore, while advancing the negotiation process, the United States may continue to increase its troop deployment in the Middle East. What does this "fighting while negotiating" trend signify? Will the risk of conflict in the Middle East continue to escalate? Qin Tian, ​​deputy director of the Middle East Institute of the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, analyzed that in the short term, neither the US nor Iran wants to rashly escalate the war, but at the same time, they cannot reach a mutually beneficial outcome through negotiations. Both sides intend to postpone resolving the difficult issue of how to end the war, first buying themselves time for reflection and decision-making. However, while the risk of escalation in the US-Israel-Iran conflict is being delayed, it is also increasing.
