Jonathan Saya, an analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said that the correspondence with Mohsen Razai is probably Washington's last attempt to reach a diplomatic solution. According to him, if the Islamic Republic does not return to negotiations, the United States may launch a short but severe military operation against Iran after the midterm elections. Saya added that in possible future attacks, there may be targets for energy, oil and electricity infrastructure as well as decision-making authorities of the Islamic Republic. According to him, Israel's political crisis will not necessarily prevent military action and the main question is whether Washington's ultimate goal is to change the behavior of the Islamic Republic or to change the government.
