"Naveed Shah, political director at Common Defense, stated that if the regional war is not ended soon, there is no end in sight to its expansion. He emphasized that attacking infrastructure will not expedite the end of the war, but rather prolong it, highlighting the need for a diplomatic off-ramp to declare some form of victory."
"Brian Finucane, an analyst at the International Crisis Group, noted that attacks on civilian infrastructure in Iran are not only illegal but also unlikely to help achieve Trump's goals, such as reopening the Strait of Hormuz. He expressed skepticism that inflicting destruction on Iran would lead to a quick US victory."
Experts warn that escalating threats from Trump against Iran could prolong the conflict and destabilize the region. Attacks on Iranian infrastructure are expected to provoke severe retaliation, potentially targeting energy facilities and raising oil prices. Analysts emphasize that such actions are unlikely to lead to a swift US victory or the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Instead, they predict a cycle of counter-escalation, making it crucial to find a diplomatic off-ramp to resolve the conflict.
