Trump has backed down from his threat of a renewed attack on Iran for the fifth time, this time placing the onus on the leaders of the Arab countries in the region.<\/p>\n
Despite both sides communicating their conditions to each other through intermediaries, there are no signs of any agreement.<\/p>\n
For this reason, the Islamic Republic of Iran considers the outbreak of another conflict highly probable and, accordingly, has issued necessary warnings to the countries hosting American bases while also expanding the scope of its deterrent threats.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the initial assessment is that the likelihood of a new conflict is very high. However, the question remains: why does Trump withdraw from his imminent attack threat each time, citing various excuses?<\/p>\n
The most credible answer seems to be that the United States is not in a suitable position for an invasion.<\/p>\n
It appears that the Americans believe a limited but effective strike might unlock stalled negotiations and compel Iran to make concessions.<\/p>\n
The experience of the first forty days of the war demonstrated that in a prolonged conflict, Iran holds the upper hand; for this reason, the US aims for a limited confrontation.<\/p>\n
However, a limited conflict, if not painful enough, cannot force Iran to yield.<\/p>\n
The exact problem for the US is that it cannot propose any plan for a limited yet incredibly effective engagement.<\/p>\n
Any level of conflict will be met with Iran\u2019s forceful and prolonged response, making conditions increasingly difficult for Trump and the US.<\/p>\n
The secret behind Trump\u2019s repeated withdrawals from his attack threats is precisely that, like a donkey stuck in the mud, he has left himself no dignified way out of the impasse.<\/p>\n
It can now be confidently stated that Iran has reached a significant level of deterrent capability against attacks from its enemies, and this deterrence does not rely on nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
