Both sides are wagering that they can prevail in a protracted standoff, according to analysts.
However, a stalemate without a negotiated agreement carries risks for all parties involved.

Observers indicate that sustaining pressure without a breakthrough may affect markets, stakeholder confidence, and the ability to implement long-term plans.
