Do Washington and Tehran see settlement as essential to avoid higher costs
The article addresses the escalating economic and military pressures between the United States and Iran, where Iranian sanctions and blockades have become more painful, accompanied by declining foreign trade, rising inflation, and the collapse of the Iranian currency. Conversely, the cost of war for the United States and its allies continues to grow due to depleted military reserves and the rising expense of public debt in Europe. Diplomatic efforts persist, yet no decisive breakthrough has been achieved regarding the Strait of Hormuz. The article also focuses on shifting American pressure to the heart of Iran's financial network and targeting regional infrastructure that benefits Tehran, in an attempt to weaken it without resorting to costly military escalation. It concludes that ongoing war and increasing costs might lead both sides to seek a settlement to avoid greater losses, with the possible solution being the cessation of hostilities due to mounting expenses rather than complete victorious outcomes.
