Experts warn of regional escalation if Washington continues to support the annihilation of Gaza. Observers believe that Washington does not want to confront Tehran now because firing a coup de grace on their relations would be tantamount to setting fire to the region’s powder tank.
The former Iranian ambassador to Britain, Jalal Sadatian, links the targeting of American interests in the region with the United States’ absolute support for Israel in its war on the Gaza Strip. Another Iranian segment believes that a confrontation between the Islamic Republic and the U.S. is just around the corner.
