Iran's Strategy, Trump's Potential Response, and Market Dynamics

International relations expert Dr. Alexandros Zachariadis commented on the US strategy regarding Iran, noting the US's desire to find a way out of the crisis, despite the lack of willingness for unconditional peace from Israel and Iran. The Iranian president has set three conditions for ending hostilities, including the payment of reparations, which is unlikely to be accepted by the US. Diplomatic efforts are underway by other countries, but a lack of trust between the parties remains a significant obstacle. Iran is reportedly trying to pressure the US by raising energy prices and causing stock market declines. Additionally, both sides have limited their attacks, possibly due to reduced ammunition reserves, while US and Israeli operations focus on destroying Iranian missile stockpiles and factories. Finally, the lack of clear goals from the US side is highlighted.
