Iran affairs expert Aref Nasr says war with Iran is inevitable, with current discussions focused on timing and possible Iranian responses.
Key Takeaways
AIAref Nasr, an expert on Iranian affairs, said the decision for war with Iran has been made, and what is currently under discussion is the timing and how Iran might respond.
He told Al Arabiya FM that all developments indicate war between Iran and the United States is inevitable. The main question now is when it will happen—before, during, or after the elections.
Nasr added that the current questions revolve around whether Iran intends to escalate further, possibly moving beyond attacks on US military bases in the region to strikes inside the United States itself by so-called lone wolves, as suggested by Israeli and American reports.
He also noted an important point regarding US administration options: whether it aims to strike Iran's nuclear facilities or expand attacks to broader infrastructure. If the latter, Iran may respond by targeting infrastructure across the region.
