Iran-US Tensions Persist
The article concludes that the war between Iran and the United States is still ongoing, but it has taken on different forms and is no longer characterized by a broad, direct military conflict as it previously was. Iran is focusing on expanding its targeting efforts in the region, particularly through supporting its proxies in Iraq, Yemen, and Lebanon, with an emphasis on safeguarding its interests in the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Iran shows no desire to negotiate over its nuclear, ballistic, and long-range missile programs. The Iranian regime prefers military escalation as a means to establish a security and economic equation, believing that persistent provocation tactics hinder negotiations and keep the conflict active. Meanwhile, the Trump administration’s retreat from escalation, in a non-committal manner, allowed Iran and its adversaries, Russia and China, to support it militarily and technologically. This complicates the path toward resolution and threatens to prolong the conflict in the region. The Biden administration’s approach is considered insufficient to end the confrontation. The article concludes that the war has not yet ended, and escalation continues in various forms, with no decisive signs of its conclusion at present.
