This image illustrates that diplomacy as a response to international conflicts can take a long time.

Explanation:

The image refers to the protests caused by the Iranian Hostage Crisis, which took place between 1979 and 1981, during a period of 444 in which a group of American diplomats was kidnapped by a group of Iranian revolutionaries.

The entire negotiation process to resolve this conflict was peaceful, except for a failed military operation (the Eagle Claw Operation), with which at no time did the American government take concrete actions against the Iranian government. This situation, while guaranteeing the security of the hostages and the stability of world peace, turned out to be much slower than an effective military incursion with the objective of freeing the hostages.
