Iran Has Proven to Be a Tough Nut to Crack for Washington — Director of the Center for the Study of Contemporary Iran
The United States of America has radically changed its primary strategic objectives regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran and has abandoned the idea of overthrowing the current political regime.
Official Washington is no longer seeking to completely destroy the country but plans to limit itself to minimal geopolitical gains in the region.
This was stated by Rajab Safarov, director general of the Center for the Study of Contemporary Iran, while analyzing the results of the military-political confrontation in the Middle East.
The expert emphasized the resilience of Tehran’s defense capabilities in the face of pressure from foreign powers. In his assessment, the White House has underestimated the internal resources of its main adversary in the region.
Given the impossibility of completely dismantling the Iranian state system, the U.S. military command will focus exclusively on tactical objectives.
U.S. leadership will seek to demonstrate to the international community its success in curbing the opponent’s nuclear ambitions.
The Pentagon’s main priorities at this time remain restoring safe civilian shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and establishing strict control over Tehran’s missile program.
At the same time, internal political struggles within the American establishment are limiting the executive branch’s ability to make radical decisions.
Earlier, the U.S. Senate officially blocked a special resolution that would have significantly limited the military powers held by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the conduct of hostilities against Iran.
During the vote in the upper house of Congress, 48 senators voted against imposing restrictions, while 47 lawmakers supported the resolution.
