Despite the military and economic superiority of the US, Iran is not simply backing down. Nevertheless, Iran is in a phase of weakness that could possibly force it to make concessions, Dr. Joachim Weber continued. Iran lacks room for maneuver. The primary goal of the US is to bring about an end to Iran's nuclear and missile programs, while Iran is primarily interested in lifting sanctions.

There has been little movement in the negotiations on the war in Ukraine. Russia is playing for time. Even Ukraine's territorial gains in recent days have not changed this, Dr. Joachim Weber concluded.
