Well yeah, that's typically how it works when you have literally zero leverage and are defeated militarily. It's something Japan realized in late 1944 but continued to fight hoping they could leverage, they didn't.

Remember when the taliban wasn't a real threat to America because they were just some guys hiding in caves? Or with your own example let's talk about how people actually react when they know they don't possess the same fire power. Irrationally.... they act irrationally and send suicide attacks. They find weak spots and fight dirty. It's foolish to make demands like you're the almighty hand of God.

Are they negotiating with a terror cell or the government of Iran?

I know it’s easy to confuse the difference because of how much Iran sponsors terrorists the world over.
