National security expert Amir Hamidi said that the risk of escalating the conflict has increased, pointing to growing tensions in southern Iran and reports of explosions in Kashem. CENTCOM's focus on the Caspian Sea routes and land borders could make it difficult to transfer weapons and military components from Russia and China to the Islamic Republic, he stressed. According to Hamidi, the main goal of these pressures should be to sever the economic and logistical artery of the Revolutionary Guards and limit the Islamic Republic's ability to replace parts and replenish military stocks.
