American politics expert Nuno Gouveia believes that Iran has realized it can increase pressure on the United States until November, taking advantage of what he describes as "American weakness." This perception allows Tehran to maintain a confrontational stance while Washington seeks to avoid escalating the conflict in the Middle East region.
Gouveia argues that the United States is currently "powerless to protect its allies," which represents a significant shift in the power dynamics in the region. This perceived vulnerability encourages Iran to continue with its actions without major immediate consequences.
The situation places the American administration in a delicate position, forced to balance the need to respond to Iranian provocations with the desire to avoid a spiral of violence that could compromise its strategic interests in the Middle East.
