Analysis: War Won't End Soon, Russia is the Big Winner

According to an analysis by international relations expert Demosthenes Dimopoulos, the war will not end soon and Russia is the big winner. Mr. Dimopoulos states that the Iranians have no desire for negotiations with the Americans, as they do not trust them, while the Israelis show no willingness to stop the war and seek to eliminate the regime. He also estimates that a ground operation in Iran is problematic due to the country's terrain, but does not rule out the possibility of targeted strikes, such as the capture of an island in the Persian Gulf. He emphasizes that a generalized conflict could involve other countries in the region.
