Iran Sees US Strategy Failing Amidst Economic Pressure and Military Strikes

Iran Sees US Strategy Failing Amidst Economic Pressure and Military Strikes

An analysis in Foreign Affairs suggests that Iran's leadership views the ongoing U.S. military and economic pressure campaign as potentially leading to a strategic defeat for the United States. Despite significant damage to infrastructure and severe economic hardship, Iran has not capitulated, and the conflict has reportedly strengthened nationalist sentiments. The death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei did not trigger widespread protests as expected by the U.S., and his successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, has consolidated power. Iran continues to exert pressure on U.S. interests in the region and seeks international engagement, believing the U.S. has failed to achieve full isolation.
