Murad Vaisi, Iran International's senior analyst, said: "Three days before the mid-term elections for the US Congress, the evidence shows that the possibility of an agreement has diminished and that the US, Israel and the Islamic Republic are rapidly marching towards a large-scale and intense war." The mutual threats have reached a peak and both sides show their readiness for a military confrontation in the harshest terms; A war that could inflict heavier blows on the military and political structure of the Islamic Republic."
