Ata Mohammed, an expert on international relations, said that increased military pressure could bring the Islamic Republic closer to an agreement when there is a way to end the conflict. According to him, the difference in the positions of the US and Israel regarding the negotiations and the continuation of the war caused Tehran to continue to emphasize maintaining its levers of pressure. Muhammad added that the countries of the Persian Gulf have not only strengthened their defense capabilities in the face of the possibility of war, and there are signs of readiness for offensive actions. According to him, these countries plan to protect their economic and energy infrastructure at the same time.
