Analysis: The US-Iran standoff lacks an exit strategy, and the risk of escalation is rising

According to Jin Shi reports, Middle East expert Mohammad Ali Shabani stated in an interview that he believes U.S. President Trump is ready to fulfill his threat to strike Iran's critical infrastructure, which poses a serious risk of escalating the regional situation. Iran, on the other hand, has signaled to the U.S. that it "will not back down" by attacking Kuwaiti infrastructure. He added, "The current situation is somewhat similar to a standoff, where neither side has a dignified exit path. In this context, I believe there is a high possibility of serious escalation in the region within the next 24 hours."
