Senior officials within Iran's regime and the Revolutionary Guards believe that Israel and the United States are poised to unexpectedly resume hostilities sooner than anticipated. According to regime assessments, a series of recent indications suggest a significantly increased likelihood of escalation and renewed fighting.
Iranian sources point to the substantial movement of U.S. military equipment into the region over recent weeks. They also claim that Israel has intensified flights over Syria and Iraq, conducting dry-run attack drills. These actions are interpreted as precursors to renewed conflict.
Regime officials speaking to international media stated that while Iran is determined to prevent President Trump from achieving a political victory that could bolster him for the U.S. midterm elections, the President himself appears ready to re-engage in hostilities to force rapid Iranian concessions. However, these same sources assert that Iran has no intention of compromising and will not allow President Trump to gain advantages before the elections. Many in Iran are convinced that a return to fighting is inevitable, regardless of the current negotiations, and therefore prefer to prolong the talks as long as possible, at least until the midterms.
