Analysis – Why Trump reached dead end with Iran

Fact: According to The Washington Post, from military threats to the idea of a naval blockade, the efforts of U.S. President Donald Trump to force Iran into surrender or retreat have so far produced no tangible results and have even strengthened Tehran’s position.

Main Cause: Trump does not have an accurate understanding of Iran and its capabilities, particularly its resilience. His assumption that economic or military pressure could force Iran to surrender is mistaken. This analysis stems from a misunderstanding of Iran’s strategy, mindset, and capacity to adapt. Although the pressure on Iran’s economy is real, it will not lead to its collapse.

Likelihood: Iran will likely continue resisting comprehensive U.S. pressure, while Trump is expected to persist with the same misguided policies.
