Ahead of US and Israeli elections, 3-day joint attack on Iran 'would not radically change conflict'
Ahead of US and Israeli elections, a three-day joint military attack on Iran would not radically change the ongoing conflict, according to an international relations expert.
Federico Donelli, Associate Professor of International Relations at the University of Trieste, challenges the assumption that a short, intensive offensive would necessarily produce decisive political outcomes in the Iran conflict.
The real question is whether military pressure is intended to constrain Iran's capacity, or to pressure Iran to sit on the table.
Donelli questions whether military actions can translate into sustainable political outcomes without provoking a wider regional crisis, particularly as both US and Israeli elections approach.
Regardless of military strategies, the expert emphasizes that Iran still maintains leverage over the United States, complicating any potential resolution to the long-standing tensions between the nations.
