Since the first leg of his Middle East tour, US President Joe Biden pledged not to allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon.

Despite his call, in Tel Aviv, Tehran to return to the nuclear agreement, he threatened at the same time to continue diplomatic and economic pressure on it until it complied with the JCPOA.

Speaking about confronting what he described as the multi-sided Iranian threat, Biden said - in a television interview with Israeli Channel 12 - that the military option against Iran will remain present, knowing that it will be the last option.

In light of the talk about the establishment of a Middle Eastern military alliance - under US auspices during Biden's visit to the region - to confront the threat of Iranian drones and missiles, Al Jazeera Net polled the views of Iranian experts and political analysts to read the possible mechanism that the United States would follow to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power.


Diplomatic option

Although hopes of reviving the nuclear agreement waned after the indirect Doha negotiations between the United States and Iran through the European mediator, Tehran and Washington have not yet taken the diplomatic option off their agenda, according to Professor of International Relations at the University of Tehran Mohsen Jaliland, who believes that the nuclear negotiations are on the verge of their last breath. .

In his speech to Al Jazeera Net, Gillond recalled the nuclear agreement signed in 2015 between Tehran and the Six-Party Group and contributed greatly to reducing tension over his country's nuclear file even before former US President Donald Trump withdrew from it in 2018, describing the option of negotiations as the least expensive and safest. To resolve the thorny issues between Tehran and Washington.

The Iranian academic considered Biden's recent positions and his threat of the military option against Tehran as holding negotiations, and reduced the possibilities of reaching an agreement to save the nuclear agreement, and it is likely that Washington will adopt, during the next short period, the scenario of intensifying political and economic pressure on Iran to discourage it from its positions, which Washington sees as preventing the revival of the agreement. nuclear.


back pressure

Gilliund indicated that Trump had exercised a policy of maximum pressure against Iran after his withdrawal from the nuclear agreement in 2018, adding that President Biden had turned a blind eye to some of the sanctions that his predecessor had imposed on Iran since the beginning of the nuclear negotiations, but he may restore them in the future if he fails. The diplomatic option in reviving the nuclear agreement.

He expected that the US administration would keep pace with the Israeli policy aimed at encircling Iran and deploying radars and air systems to counter Iranian missiles and drones in the countries of the region, stressing that the approval of the US Congress last month on a bill to stop the activities of Iranian drones might push Biden to tighten the noose on Tehran.

He warned of a rise in tension between Iran and Israel if Israeli radars stabilize near the Iranian border, describing the US policy aimed at normalizing Arab countries' relations with Israel as coming to pressure Tehran and transform the Arab-Israeli conflict into an Arab-Iranian conflict.


Military option

For his part, the former leader of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Hussein Kanaani, considered Biden's visit to the Middle East as an indication of the failure of previous American policies towards Iran, adding that Biden had spoken more than once about the need to contain Iran in his Middle East talks, which means that his administration wants to take action. A different policy to reassure its allies in the region.

And Kanaani Moghadam read - in his speech to Al Jazeera Net - the Jeddah summit, which brought Biden together with a number of Arab leaders after his visit to the occupied territories, in the context of regional alliances directed against Iran under the pretext of confronting Tehran's regional policies and its nuclear and missile programs, adding that "Arab wisdom will avoid getting involved. In any battle, the Zionist-American axis prepares for it and looks for partners to stage it."

And he believed that the military option Biden talked about - to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear power - may refer to possible operations of the Israeli entity against nuclear facilities in Iran, stressing that such operations would open hell on the Zionist entity, according to his description.

The former commander of the Revolutionary Guard expected a rise in tension between Tehran and Tel Aviv against the background of the latter's annexation of the US Central Command "Centcom" and participation in its operations, stressing that his country takes all threats seriously and plans to confront them.

Kanani Moghadam concluded by saying that his country has developed elaborate plans - in conjunction with its allies in the region - to respond to any threat targeting its national security, explaining that "hundreds of thousands of precision missiles are currently directed and throughout the Middle East towards the Zionist entity and may launch towards the occupied territories in any battle." Coming against Iran.
