基本解釋

For some, including Russia and China thus far, the only answer to Iran’s obduracy is more talks.

But it does rather knock on the head the idea that the conflict in the Middle East persists solely because of Israeli obduracy and America's failure to lean on Israel hard enough.
但它的確推繙了這麼一種觀點(diǎn)：即中東沖突長(zhǎng)期難以解決的唯一原因，是以色列的頑固作派和美國(guó)沒(méi)有曏以色列施加足夠的壓力。
In particular, he should tell the Israeli people why Mr Netanyahu’s obduracy on settlements, while reaping short-term popularity, in the long run threatens Israel’s very existence.

If you accuse someone of obduracy, you think their refusal to change their decision or opinion is unreasonable.
