Despite yhese obvious defeats and the impending invasion of Japan itself, the Japanese Army resisted all discussions of ending the war (on any likely terms). The United States was aware of this, and wanted to avoid a final bloody invasion of Japan. The US President agreed with the key allied military & diplomatic leaders, and decided to jolt or shock the Japanese government or Japanese Emperor into deciding on the surrender, with the use of the atomic bombs against the Japanese cities. This strategy worked. The Japanese Emperor had to force the Japanese military leaders to accept the terms of surrender.
