Analysts from Jordan and Kuwait are warning that Russia's diplomatic efforts in Tehran may be the final step before a significant escalation involving Iran. They suggest Iran is facing a critical choice: accept American terms or confront a full-scale conflict. Lawyer Abdullah Al-Majali from Jordan stated, "We are approaching 'zero hour'… after the failure of Russian mediation in Tehran, we may face war in the coming hours." He believes regional states have already been notified of the timing and that the ultimate goal of any military action would be the overthrow of the Iranian regime, potentially beginning with the elimination of its political and military leadership.
Dr. Khalil Al-Mulla Yousef from Kuwait described the situation as "Iran and the final moments before suicide." He posits that following meetings between Gulf states and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and a recent call between the Russian and US presidents, Lavrov's visit to Tehran is not for mediation but to present Iran with a unilateral initiative. This initiative reportedly offers only two options: accepting American conditions or war. Al-Mulla Yousef speculates that the US and Russia may have reached an agreement where resolving the Ukraine crisis is linked to Iran's capitulation, framing it as a power play benefiting the major powers. He added that if Iran rejects this opportunity, it will lose Russia as an ally, significantly impacting any future conflict against it.
