An Iranian scholar claims that Tehran's 'cognitive warfare' is taking advantage of US hesitation to limit Trump's options. Tehran's strategic position has actually deepened the internal political vulnerabilities of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, significantly reducing their strategic maneuverability in their ongoing military campaign against Iran, according to Iranian political analyst Hassan Ahmadian. In an analysis published on social media after the US midterm elections, Ahmadian argued that Trump's hesitation stems from an inability to ensure that a limited military strike against Iran would yield a decisive victory without triggering an all-out regional escalation. "If Trump had a clear idea of ​​how the war could end with a limited blow, and was certain that it would end with a symbolic blow, he would not have hesitated to hit Iran and tell the American public that he would win," Ahmadian noted, stressing that the lack of a clear exit strategy caused internal fractures in the American administration. Ahmadian emphasized that Iran's "cognitive warfare" has succeeded in maintaining strategic ambiguity, leaving Washington unable to predict the full extent of Tehran's retaliatory response to potential attacks. Warning that the US administration faces an accelerating countdown, the scholar concluded that Trump must urgently determine his military strategy before January.
