The least likely scenario for the development of the conflict in the Middle East in the current circumstances is reaching a complete and comprehensive settlement to it. Iran can focus on rebuilding its defense capabilities, while the United States can focus on analyzing the consequences of its past actions. This opinion was expressed, on Wednesday, May 6, by Ivan Bocharov, Director of Programs at the Russian International Affairs Council.
According to him, such a pause indicates the mutual need for both parties to re-evaluate the situation, develop further steps and identify opportunities to protect their interests.
The United States and Israel will likely continue to rely on air superiority, regardless of the current dynamics of the conflict. The expert noted in an interview with the Washington Post that Iran, in turn, will continue to focus on exploiting weaknesses in the “bottleneck” – the Strait of Hormuz, as well as on developing asymmetric forms of pressure.
