Strikes0:04that CBS News describes as one of the0:06harshest bombing campaigns to date0:08against Iranian energy infrastructure0:10and that were to be carried out jointly0:12with Israel. Trump said he was holding0:14off at the request of Iran and other0:16Middle Eastern countries provided a deal0:18was quickly reached. That deal must0:20include the immediate opening of the0:21Strait of Hormuz. He added that Israel0:23has committed to new talks. Iran's0:26Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi warned0:27against what he called adventurous0:29action by the United States. But0:30according to Professor Mehran Kamrava of0:33Georgetown University in Qatar, Tehran0:35is far from intimidated. Kamrava argues0:37that Iran is not intimidated because it0:39is pursuing a war of attrition designed0:41to make the costs of America's military0:43presence prohibitive and eventually0:45force a US withdrawal from the Persian0:47Gulf if not the entire Middle East. He0:49pointed to Iranian proxy drone attacks0:51in Saudi Arabia and gas tankers hit in0:53Egypt as evidence that this strategy is0:55already in motion. Kamrava says these0:57incidents are part of a pattern of0:59calibrated retaliation that raises the1:01price of American posture without1:04triggering a full-scale war that would1:05risk the regime's survival.1:13This leaves both Iran and the United1:15States at a strategic stalemate. Kamrava1:17says both sides would like to return to1:19the negotiating table but neither can1:21move. There is also an American1:23constraint. Kamrava says the US has1:25again prevailed on Israel not to1:27reignite a full-scale war citing reports1:29that American weapons are running low.1:31What remains unresolved is whether the1:33talks Trump cited as his rationale for1:35canceling strikes will actually begin1:37and whether a deal that opens the Strait1:39of Hormuz can be reached before the1:41credibility of American military threats1:43already dismissed in Tehran collapses1:45entirely.Makaleyi okuHaberin zaman çizelgesiHeyDexKısa video ↗İlgili haberlerArka plan·8 Eki 19:02 UTCTrump vows to protect LA and San Diego after remarks prompt threat monitoring
