FGE Expert Predicts Increased Risk of New US Strikes Against Iran
FGE NexantECA expert Ferhad Fesharakhi, in an interview with Bloomberg, warns that despite the near-zero export of Iranian oil through American maritime blockades, the risk of new US strikes against Iran remains high. Fesharakhi suggests that after the Republican Party's defeat in recent US midterm elections, the Iranian government may view President Donald Trump as politically weakened. This could affect Iran's position during negotiations, as Iran is demanding terms that the White House is unlikely to accept. The expert also notes that the sides are still far from the agreements reached in May, including the nuclear deal. Fesharakhi does not rule out the possibility of new US and Israeli strikes against Iran, citing limited time for approval of relevant decisions for both President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
