I’m an international relations expert. This is where the Iran war is heading
- The conflict is likely to settle into a frozen state rather than a full peace agreement, despite a ceasefire.
- US, Israel, and Iran face no durable agreement on core issues, including Iran’s nuclear program.
- Asymmetric warfare makes a lasting political settlement difficult and prolongs hostilities.
- A ceasefire is often declared a success by leaders, masking unresolved core issues.
- Without a long-term settlement, tensions over Iran’s nuclear ambitions and regional leverage persist.
- Historical examples show frozen conflicts can endure for years with intermittent violence.
- Regional stability hinges on how the Strait of Hormuz and economic pressures evolve.
- Scholars suggest partial agreements could postpone but not resolve the core disagreements.
- The article compares the current situation to other long-standing frozen conflicts in the region.
- Experts warn that renewed talks in Pakistan may resume but expect no swift resolution.
