From the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea; the War with Iran Has Become a Quagmire for Washington

Recent analyses show that the war with Iran has turned from a limited conflict into a costly regional quagmire for Washington. The expansion of the conflict from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, Iranian missile attacks on US vessels, and developments in Iran's nuclear program are setting the stage for further crises. Trump's advisers have warned that the notion of a quick end to the war after the midterm elections is unrealistic optimism.

Hawzah News Agency- In the latest analysis titled "Trump's Small War with Iran Has Now Become Much Larger," it is stated that economic pressure and the siege on Iran, although able to exert pressures on Tehran, have simultaneously increased the Islamic Republic of Iran's level of risk-taking to confront these pressures.

According to this analysis, Iran, relying on its capabilities, has not only not retreated but has also expanded the scope of the conflict. Economic pressure and the siege, instead of forcing Tehran to back down, have increased Iran's risk-taking to confront these pressures and pushed it toward more daring actions.

This report, referring to the assessment of some senior advisers to Donald Trump regarding the possibility of a prolonged conflict, emphasized that the notion of a quick end to the war after the midterm elections is inconsistent with field realities. According to these advisers, the continuation of the war could turn into an exhausting and costly crisis for Washington, entangling US financial and military resources in a region from which exit is difficult.

The analysis continues that the expansion of the conflict from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, Iranian missile attacks on US vessels, and developments in Iran's nuclear program are setting the stage for further crises. These developments show that the war with Iran has become a regional and multifaceted conflict whose management is becoming increasingly difficult for Washington. On the one hand, the security of energy and shipping routes in the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea is at risk, and on the other hand, Iranian missile attacks on US vessels have increased Washington's military costs.

In conclusion, emphasizing that "Trump's small war with Iran has now become much larger," it is concluded that the notion of a quick end to this conflict is unrealistic optimism. According to this analysis, economic pressure and the siege have not only failed to lead to Iran's retreat but have also increased Tehran's risk-taking and provided the ground for further crises in the region. Washington now faces a strategic quagmire, exiting which is far more difficult than entering it.
