Some argue that even in the best case, negotiations will only revert to the situation before March 20. Assuming renewed fighting after a period of talks, the analyst believes nothing will return to the pre‑conflict state, especially for Iran.

He notes that military capabilities such as air defense, ballistic and cruise missile production, naval and air forces, and destroyed equipment will not be restored to pre‑war levels. Iranian leadership and institutions, the political path initiated by Benjamin Netanyahu, Arab governments, and the everyday lives of Iranian citizens will also remain altered.

If a new war erupts, new equations must be written based on the post‑conflict reality, not on conditions before March 20.
