Understanding How Iran Negotiates -Emily Landau

[O]ver the past seven years we've seen Iran agree, then disagree, then agree a little bit, then reject again, then say more time is needed to consider, then finally present a counter-proposal, then say it wants cooperation, then say it will never give up on its rights.

[T]he Iranians never took cooperation so far that it diverted them from their overall goal in the nuclear realm.

Iran knows that when armed with a military nuclear capability it will be much better positioned to get a better deal from the international community. Iran's rational interest is to put off any real negotiation until it has reached [nuclear] capability.
