The current situation in Iran is very unclear, and information about the current situation should be treated with caution. Meanwhile, the economic damage worldwide is already immense, and there is no clear exit strategy on the part of the US and Israel.

Dr. Joachim Weber largely ruled out the deployment of American ground troops. Such a deployment would require months of preparation, and the window of opportunity for this has already passed. Dr. Joachim Weber is also critical of the prediction that the deployment of Kurdish ground troops will bring a quick resolution to the conflict. The Kurds are not strong enough to bring about serious change in Iran; moreover, it would be a bad idea for them to enter into another partnership with the US, as was recently the case in Syria.

In addition, a complete destruction of the regime is inconceivable at this point in time. Similar to Iraq, a temporary weakening followed by a resurgence is likely. Although it is possible that Iran's large-scale attacks will subside significantly in the near future, Dr. Joachim Weber does not currently see the country as completely incapable of action. Iran will continue to be able to threaten ships in the Strait of Hormuz in the future.
