“I think the most likely ending is a non-ending,” Rosemary Kelanic, Director of the Middle East programme at Defense Priorities, said. “This has turned into a war of attrition, and wars of attrition tend to go on for a long, long period of time.”
“The MOU is completely dead,” said Kelanic. “All of the things that it stipulated have now been undone.”
Now, according to Kelanic, the president’s leverage over Iran may be diminished.
“He has already tried the things he can easily do, can credibly do,” she said. “He can attack military targets, regime targets. He’s done that before, and it didn’t cause Iran to surrender.”
