Time no longer on Iran’s side, says US affairs expert
US and Middle East analyst Saeed Al-Bustani says Iran’s strategy of waiting out the US has backfired, with mounting American pressure.
US and Middle East analyst Saeed Al-Bustani has said that Iran's strategy of waiting for the United States to back off is no longer effective. In an interview with Al Arabiya FM, Al-Bustani explained that time has run out for Tehran. He argued that Iran once believed it could pressure the US by waiting, but now the tables have turned.
The US administration is now telling Iran that with each passing day, the consequences for Tehran will become more severe, according to Al-Bustani. The analyst stated that American officials have come to understand that the memorandum of understanding signed between the two nations initially gave Iran an advantage, yet Iran did not fulfill its obligations.
Al-Bustani also pointed out that Iran's series of attacks on oil tankers in the Omani corridor has led to a more aggressive US approach to Tehran. The US continues to maintain its maritime blockade on Iran as part of ongoing efforts to compel the country to resume negotiations with Washington without making any concessions.
