Arab analyst says Tehran holds multiple cards to surprise Washington

📡 Arab analyst says Tehran holds multiple cards to surprise Washington 📌 Tehran, IRNA – An Iraqi political analyst says the recent US attacks against Iran pursue specific objectives, stressing that Tehran holds several game-changers that can surprise Washington. According to a report by AlMaalouma on Wednesday, Iraqi political analyst Athir al‑Sharaa stated that US President Trump is carrying out an Israeli‑driven plan which former US President Barack Obama had refused to execute. He added that Trump is seeking to fulfill the demands of Zionist circles within the so‑called “New Middle East” project. The political analyst noted that by attacking Iran and targeting its territory, Trump aims to create chaos in the region, but Tehran has numerous cards it can use to surprise Washington and the US government. Since June 27, 2026, the United States has violated the Islamabad understanding and resumed its attacks against Iran, re‑imposing a naval blockade after claiming assaults on vessels near the Strait of Hormuz. With renewed US aggression and Iran’s defensive strikes on American bases, global attention has again focused on the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran insists its security must be ensured by Persian Gulf littoral states without foreign military intervention. 📲 ​
