'It is peculiar that the Pentagon, which understands Iran's efficiency in the field and knows it would suffer losses in a possible conflict, is insisting on a comprehensive war with Iran.' Opinion | hakkiuygur1
Iran's air defence missile systems shooting down a high-tech US military drone south of the Gulf on Thursday, June 20 is the latest example of increasing tensions between Washington and Tehran over the past year.
The US's withdrawal from the JCPOA in May 2018; heavy sanctions on Iran; the influence of global trade wars; Trump’s aggressive attitude; and Iran’s major commercial partners EU, China and India abiding by the sanctions have put Iran in a very difficult position. Therefore, it was not surprising that after the attacks in Fujairah last month against Saudi, UAE and Norwegian tankers it was Iran which first came to mind as the suspect behind the attacks.
The idea that the Trump administration cannot risk and afford a new war before the US elections has become popularly accepted in Tehran. Therefore, it is believed that Iran will continue similar actions against countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE.It is crucial to examine some of the actors suggesting that the Iranian crisis is very likely to spiral out of control and result in an all-out conflict.
During Foreign Minister Zarif’s visit to the US, he spoke to FOX TV, known for having close ties to Trump, and asked for an exchange of prisoners, yet he returned empty-handed to Tehran. The control in Iran is now completely in the hands of hardliners.
