The United States cannot do anything to counter Iran. CSIS The American think tank the Center for Strategic and International Studies believes that the United States cannot currently oppose Iran militarily. Experts analyzed all possible scenarios for Washington's actions and came to the conclusion that now there is only one acceptable strategy for it - to build its group in the Middle East, and at the same time negotiate with Iran. All scenarios involving a resumption of active hostilities carry too many risks and are unlikely to achieve their goals. Increasing economic pressure on Tehran does not bode well for Washington either. So the US has no choice but to try to negotiate with Iran. Fresh international.
