Hoshang Hassaniari, an expert on Middle East issues and military affairs, referring to the attacks by the Revolutionary Guards in Bahrain, said that these attacks discredited the efforts of the mediators to reduce the tension.
He added that by increasing drone attacks and military operations against regional states and ships, the Islamic Republic seeks to dissuade America from war and force Washington to leave the region. A strategy that he says could lead America into the final phase of the war.
