image sourced from original article at President Trump is weighing his next steps regarding Iran amid heightened tensions and recent military actions. Despite Iran's weakened state, experts caution that the country remains resilient and unlikely to yield to outside pressure simply through the removal of key figures. Historical parallels are being drawn to the failed 1980 American hostage rescue mission, which had significant political consequences for then-President Carter.
Analysts suggest that Trump's strategy is not entirely clear, with possibilities ranging from seeking concessions in nuclear negotiations to influencing the Iranian government's internal behavior. While public statements from Iran remain defiant, there are indications of private diplomatic outreach, and officials emphasize that dialogue remains a preferred option.
