After renewed US-Iran strikes
The prospect of an imminent agreement to end the conflict between the US and Iran again seems unlikely, with the warring sides exchanging strikes and uncompromising rhetoric.
TL;DR
- The prospect of an agreement to end the US-Iran conflict appears unlikely due to ongoing strikes and uncompromising rhetoric.
- The US aims to force Iran to negotiate and stop attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz through economic blockade.
- A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in June, meant to result in a permanent ceasefire, has expired.
- Experts believe Iran is preparing for increased economic pressure and will respond proportionately to attacks, waiting for US concessions or a return to the MoU.
- The lifting of US sanctions on Iran, as outlined in the MoU, is seen as a potential 'silver bullet' that could weaken the IRGC and drive gradual political and social change.
