[Iranian Expert: US and Israel Made Huge Miscalculations Regarding Iran; Trump Administration in Dire Straits] Iranian foreign policy expert Abbas Aslani told Xinhua News Agency in Tehran on the 6th that the US government's considerations and predictions regarding its military action against Iran contained "huge errors," failing to achieve its strategic objectives and finding itself in a situation where "the more it struggles, the more difficult it becomes." Aslani said that after weeks of conflict, Tehran has shown no signs of weakness or surrender. Meanwhile, the US and Israel are attacking Iran's energy, scientific, medical, and industrial infrastructure, indicating their failure to achieve their military and strategic goals. They are attempting to pressure the Iranian government by harming the Iranian people, and even attacking nuclear facilities, continuing the war in a "very dangerous way for the entire region." Aslani stated that the US and Israeli invasion aimed to change the Iranian regime and political system, and destroy Iran's military capabilities and infrastructure. However, Iran is still able to shoot down US warplanes and respond to attacks, "meaning that the US and Israel have failed to achieve their strategic objectives." Aslani believes that the Trump administration is, to some extent, "angry and exhausted" about the current situation. Unable to find a way out of the predicament or a way back, they are attempting to further escalate the situation. But the longer the conflict continues, the more complex the situation will become for the United States, and the more severe the consequences will be. The Trump administration will find itself in a "more difficult situation than ever before." (Xinhua)
