American analyst: The consequences of conflict with Iran are catastrophic

According to Isna, an American analyst and a member of the “Defense Priorities” think tank described the US military conflict with Iran as a non-achieving action that will impose huge costs on Washington.

Some American lawmakers have publicly called for the use of force against Iran. 2 days after the Al-Aqsa storm operation on October 7, American Republican Senator Lindsey Graham asked President Joe Biden to attack Iran’s oil facilities if the conflict escalates or Zionist prisoners are killed. Some American politicians also want to threaten Iran before a direct attack, with the hope that Tehran will abandon its nuclear program.

According to Newsweek, every time there is a conflict in West Asia, the question is often raised whether America should go to war with Iran or not. However, Daniel R. In this report, American analyst DiPetris emphasizes that the use of military force against Iran will have consequences that are all negative and destructive.

He says that in the first place, there is no guarantee that Hamas will release Zionist prisoners in the event of an American attack on Iran, because although Tehran is a supporter of Hamas, the Palestinian resistance movement has been the de facto government based in Gaza for more than a decade, and about 300 million Dollars have been taxed. The American analyst emphasizes that Hamas makes its decisions independently and there is no guarantee that the Zionist prisoners will be released if the United States enters the war with Iran.

On the other hand, he admits that a US military attack on Iran would be a difficult and expensive project, because the US would have to use dozens of fighter and bomber aircraft and air defenses based in West Asia to shoot down missiles fired by Iran, and 40,000 American military stationed in the region will be easy targets for Iran’s missile and drone power.

Such a war would also involve dozens of US warships and submarines to defend US bases in the Persian Gulf against an Iranian counterattack. Therefore, going to war with Iran means involving a huge part of the US resources in the region and reducing the military capability of this country in other places, including in the Indo-Pacific (regions between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean).

In addition, the American analyst says that if the American goal of this attack is to destroy Iran’s nuclear capability, even all the bombs in the world are not enough to achieve this goal, because even if a part of Iran’s uranium stockpile is destroyed, the knowledge of Iran’s nuclear scientists which was achieved during the last three decades, is still standing and will be operational again after the end of the war.

He warns that in the event of an American attack and Iran’s nuclear program restarts, this time the International Atomic Energy Agency will not be able to monitor Iran’s nuclear facilities, and it is possible that Tehran will decide to move towards nuclear weapons to prevent another American attack. , while currently Iran does not have such a decision.
