Foreign Affairs: Max Pressure Not Effective
A report from the American magazine "Foreign Affairs" warns that the strategy of maximum pressure on Iran, which relies on economic sanctions and military threats, may have reached its limits and is unlikely to force Tehran to make concessions. Over five decades of conflicts have proven that Iran is capable of absorbing military blows and developing ways to adapt to sanctions, while maintaining significant defensive capabilities in the Strait of Hormuz. It also appears that the United States lacks the political and material will to bear the costs of a full-scale ground war against Iran, which complicates prospects for reaching a stable political settlement and renders the continuation of the current approach ineffective.
