In the current situation, military strikes cannot be ruled out, according to Dr. Frank Umbach's analysis. He justifies this with Iran's obstructive stance in negotiations over its nuclear weapons program.

Although there have been recent diplomatic exchanges between the US and Iran, Tehran insists on continuing its ballistic missile development program, which the US wants to prevent as a matter of priority.

Furthermore, Iran's nuclear program has not been set back as far as was initially claimed after last year's attacks. Iran has managed to secure 400 kilograms of highly enriched uranium. Israel is already considering the necessity of another strike against this program. Overall, the situation remains very unclear, Dr. Frank Umbach concludes.
