"The war in Iran will go from skirmish to skirmish"

CNN Portugal31 August 2026 at 21:57

Commentator Miguel Baumgartner commented on the war situation in Iran, using the popular expression "going from small fire to small fire" to describe what he considers to be the most likely scenario for the conflict.

According to Baumgartner's analysis, none of the parties involved in the conflict has any interest in entering a full-scale war. This assessment suggests that the commentator views the situation as a stalemate where neither side intends a total escalation of hostilities.

The expression used in the title indicates that the commentator anticipates a prolonged conflict characterized by sporadic episodes of violence, rather than direct and widespread confrontation.

The article essentially presents the perspective of a political commentator on the dynamics of the Iranian conflict, focusing on the assessment that the parties involved prefer to maintain a controlled level of tension rather than open war.
