Colonel José Carmo analyzes the latest developments in the Middle East conflict. The article's title summarizes the central position of his analysis: the United States and Iran are signaling what they want, but neither country is really interested in going to war.

The analysis focuses on the dynamic between the two powers in the context of the Middle East conflict. According to Colonel Carmo, the movements of both countries should be interpreted as displays of force or political positions, rather than as preparations for direct military confrontation.

The article presents the perspective of a Portuguese military expert on the geopolitical situation in the region. José Carmo, as a colonel, offers a strategic reading of the most recent events.
