Hardline Analyst Says U.S. Lacks Capacity for Prolonged War with Iran

A hardline political analyst, Kouhkan, assessed the current Iran-U.S. situation, stating that the U.S. lacks the capacity for a prolonged war with Iran. He argued that peace between the two countries is not possible, and what may emerge is merely a ceasefire or cessation of hostilities. According to him, any understanding between Iran and the U.S. as in the past is ruled out, and both sides are likely moving toward preventing the continuation of military conflict. The remarks come amid ongoing tensions and indirect negotiations between the two nations.

Global Impact

Politically, a ceasefire would reduce the immediate threat of a broader Middle Eastern conflict, potentially lowering tensions in the Persian Gulf and affecting global energy security. Economically, it could lead to a temporary stabilization of oil prices and reduce shipping insurance costs in the Strait of Hormuz.
