Western Magazines Warn on Iran War
The article discusses the future of the American-Israeli war against Iran and examines Western analyses that suggest the conflict is shifting toward a prolonged and costly confrontation. It points out that military strikes alone are unlikely to break Iran's will or compel its surrender. Analyses from The Economist and Time indicate that the United States and Israel may be moving toward seeking a political and diplomatic solution, opting to escalate economic pressure and sanctions rather than engaging in direct warfare—especially after military objectives have faltered, costs have increased, and the nature of threats to the Strait of Hormuz remains a key factor complicating the war. Additionally, the continuation of the confrontation is expected to raise costs for the global economy. The article further predicts that the conflict could turn into a prolonged regional stalemate, ending not with a decisive military victory but through a political settlement. It emphasizes the toll of attrition, the capacity of the involved parties to endure, the war's impact on oil prices, and the upcoming U.S. elections. There are also possibilities of military escalation or a shift toward greater economic and political pressure.
