Former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami said the Islamic Republic had survived external pressure but warned that Iran could not live indefinitely with war and urged a measured diplomatic approach toward the United States and Israel.

The IRGC doesn’t care and will try to hold out as long as they can. If they lose their supply lines with China/Russia (mostly China), That’s it. Even then, China will only supply them if it’s in their financial/geopolitical interests to do so. The minute the IRGC is seen as more of a liability and expense than an asset, China will drop them like junk, and the regime will be mowed down quickly.

Meanwhile, we need to keep up the pressure with no more talks or deals.
