Summary
A new U.S. intelligence assessment says Iran is unlikely to significantly change its negotiating position even as fresh American military strikes are underway.
American agencies instead foresee a prolonged standoff between Tehran and Washington, according to current and former U.S. officials familiar with the assessment.
The finding undercuts any expectation that military pressure alone will quickly force concessions from Iran in the current confrontation.
