A US ground attack on Iran will only prolong the crisis.
🔹 Zafar Muhammad Al-Ajmi, a professor and senior researcher at the University of Kuwait, wrote in a note for the think tank "Middle East Council for Global Affairs": In the war of the United States and the captives of Israel against Iran, some levers of pressure are still being used; Especially Tehran's ability to disrupt traffic in the Strait of Hormuz or a ground attack on US bases and critical infrastructure throughout the region. While Washington could deliver a major military blow to Iran, what is questionable is whether it can turn that blow into a strategic achievement to end the conflict, or will it simply prolong and deepen the crisis?
