Currently, the situation between the U.S. and Iran has shifted from limited military conflict to a high-intensity war of words and a stalemate of deterrence.
From the perspectives of economy, industry, population, and leadership:
The U.S. cannot afford long-term consumption, while Iran has a complete military industry and social resilience; Trump seeks a victory for face-saving, while Iran seeks a survival baseline.
The war of words is essentially both sides looking for an off-ramp and raising the stakes for negotiations.
Ultimately, there will not be a full-scale war, and neither side can win completely; it will only lead to de-escalation of conflicts and a long-term cold standoff, where Iran can withstand strategically, and the U.S. will not achieve a decisive outcome. #特朗普称对伊战争已胜利
