It's a good question, but Iran has a new weapon now: The Strait of Hormuz. Maybe that's enough leverage that they retain that they will stop their nuclear program for a while.

The Straight of Hormuz isn't new, though. IIUC Iran did exactly what war gamers would have expected them to do.

It seems to me that demonstrated leverage actually is different from theoretical leverage. I do think that is a crucial difference.
