Bilahari Kausikan, chairman of the National University of Singapore’s Middle East Institute, has issued a warning that the United States’ patience with Iran over the protracted nuclear negotiations is dwindling. Kausikan emphasized that the US has repeatedly conveyed its frustration, but Iran’s actions have consistently tested the limits of American tolerance.
Kausikan’s comments underscore the growing urgency surrounding the nuclear negotiations. The US has long maintained that its patience is not inexhaustible, and Iran’s ongoing unwillingness to compromise may ultimately lead to a breakdown in talks. It remains to be seen whether Iran will heed the warnings and demonstrate a willingness to engage in meaningful negotiations, or whether the US will ultimately lose patience and pursue alternative measures.
