And as, recently as I've heard, end their ballistic missile program as well as stop their support of proxies (Hezbollah, Hamas, etc.). So basically, they would be sitting ducks whenever the US and/or Israel decided to attack them.

What rational country would comply with this?

Nobody with common sense. “Destroy all your defenses that you’d use if we attacked or we’ll go to war with you” is not a negotiating stance. It’s a threat to surrender in advance or to prepare for war.

NEW: Iran is unlikely to accept reported US demands to destroy its nuclear facilities, send its highly enriched uranium to the US, and commit to a permanent deal. The United States and Iran held a third round of nuclear talks in Geneva on February 26. The Iranian proposal does not meet core US demands, and Iran is trying to offer economic incentives that are unrelated to US demands in order to extract concessions from the United States. US officials have previously stated that the US would strike Iran if the two sides cannot reach a deal.

Other Key Takeaways:
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on February 25 that Iran is “trying to achieve intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).” The US Defense Intelligence Agency released a public assessment in 2025 that Iran has the capability to develop an ICBM by 2035. Iran continues to undergo efforts to rebuild other aspects of its ballistic missile program.
Iranian-backed Iraqi militia Kataib Hezbollah threatened Iraqi Kurdistan’s “security and future” if the Kurdistan Regional Government supports a US or Israeli attack on Iran. Iran and Iranian-backed Iraqi militias have both previously conducted attacks targeting Iraqi Kurdistan, including during the 2023-2025 Gaza War. Kataib Hezbollah is the first major Iranian-backed Iraqi militia to threaten the United States over possible US strikes on Iran. Kataib Hezbollah appears to be prioritizing its relationship with Iran and its role in the broader Axis of Resistance over domestic political and economic considerations in Iraq.

Iranians continued to hold anti-regime protests during the 40-day mourning ceremonies across the country. These 40-day ceremonies have served as catalysts for renewed demonstrations in recent weeks. CTP-ISW did not record any protests at Iranian universities on February 26, which is a sudden decline from the rate of campus protests in recent days. CTP-ISW is considering several reasons that could explain the lack of observable university protest activity.

The Syrian government is pursuing negotiations with the current authorities in Suwayda as it simultaneously employs a strategy that is likely designed to politically weaken and then subordinate Druze Sheikh Hikmat al Hijri’s coalition to the government over time. The United States is reportedly mediating back-channel negotiations between the Syrian government and unspecified Druze leaders to integrate Suwayda Province under Syrian government control, which is likely a government attempt to reduce support for Hijri and his followers.
