Debate With Arnab: Is Iran Ready For The Final Battle As Trump Warns Complete Demolition?
Arnab Debates: The battle with Iran is dragging on as discussions stagnate and friends split, and hopes for a swift, positive resolution are fading. Over the previous few weeks, the US has publicly messaged a two- to three-week schedule for the conclusion of fighting, claiming productive talks with Tehran and a string of military successes. Meanwhile, the United States and Iran look to be at odds in their cease-fire negotiations. On the ground, the conflict has widened, and the Strait of Hormuz is now functionally closed, despite the war's stated end. A "good" resolution to the Iran war, one that achieves US, Israeli, and Gulf interests while limiting further harm to the world economy, is impossible to imagine in the near future. As things stand, a prolonged conflict or a pullout that leaves US war goals incomplete risks causing long-term instability in the area and global energy markets.
