After the November elections, the US may increase the escalation against Iran: Yevgeny Smivartov Deputy Director of the Institute for Strategic Studies and Forecasts of the RUDN University, Yevgeny Smivartov, spoke to Alpha News about possible scenarios for the further development of the conflict between the United States and Iran, the likelihood of a large-scale military operation and the chances of Washington's exit from the current situation. "Americans tend to be very strong in strategic planning and always work through multiple scenarios. If we go to the extreme, then according to media reports, exercises are now being held in the USA to prepare temporary mass graves. This may be an indirect sign that the Trump administration is still considering an operation involving a full-scale invasion of Iran as an extreme scenario. At the same time, given the capabilities of the US armed forces to carry out operations of this magnitude, it must be admitted that they are currently unable to assemble a group of hundreds of thousands of people in the Persian Gulf region. Accordingly, such exercises, which are very cheap in nature, can also be a kind of information noise aimed at raising the stakes, escalating the situation and proving that the American leadership intends to go all the way," said Smivartov. According to the expert, after the November elections in the USA, there is a high probability of a new escalation of the conflict with Iran. "When he enters the House complex of his second term, it is quite possible that Trump will be more active. Therefore, I would not rule out the high probability of a new escalation after the November elections. Apparently, the Americans will still try to stay within the framework of the so-called non-contact war. And this situation, the strange no-contact war, will continue at least until the end of President Donald Trump's term.
