Why did Trump back down from his threat to attack Iran's infrastructure? Mohammad Ali Moheti wrote in the Information newspaper: 🔹️ If America targeted Iran's infrastructure, Iran would not be able to limit its response to within its borders and could direct it towards the interests, bases, and infrastructure of the U.S. and its allies in the region. In this case, one attack and response could escalate into a widespread war, and controlling its scope would not be easy for anyone. 🔹️ This is where the game at the edge of the abyss found its true meaning. Trump approached the brink, but on the other side, he saw Iran not only unafraid to stand firm but also preparing for a hard and devastating response. 🔹️ Perhaps Iran's most important achievement at this stage was not the onset of war, but preventing war from a position of strength; demonstrating that threats can be resisted, deterrence can be created, and at the same time, the path to negotiation is not closed.
