#In_Brief #Hussein_Mortada Washington Between the Option of Deterrence and the Dilemma of Regional Entanglement The recent retreat by US President Donald Trump’s administration from launching a military strike against the Islamic Republic of Iran was not merely a tactical pause or an opening for backchannel diplomacy. Rather, it reflected the depth of strategic confusion within Washington in managing a regional conflict whose risks and costs remain highly unpredictable. A precise reading of the broader picture reveals that American decision-makers collided with a firm Iranian deterrence formula and a readiness for open-ended scenarios that surpass traditional calculations. This forced the White House to seek alternative options, centered on attempting to "internationalize the conflict" and entangle European and regional allies to shoulder the fallout of any upcoming military setback. While Washington attempts to push certain regional parties into strategic proxy errors—as manifested in the escalating tensions along the Iraq and Yemen axes—regional capitals appear increasingly cautious about slipping into the abyss of a destructive confrontation, amid complex Turkish and European reckonings. This is a phase of "suspicious calm," where the battle is being waged through intersecting messages and balanced deterrence, proving that the choices of war and peace are no longer exclusively in American hands, but tied to developments on the ground and the firmness of frontlines.

As the hopes for reviving the 2015 nuclear deal (#JCPOA) are fading, & the prospects for a new deal are tenuous, #Biden seems running out of options to constrain #Iran, as it gets closer than ever to a nuclear weapon. Details in Al @SharqStrategic's latest #In_Brief video 👇

Turkey's expectant operation in Manbij, #Syria: Why now? This operation would be #Turkey's fourth major incursion since 2016. President #Erdogan says the aim is to create 30km ‘safe zone’ alongside its borders with Syria. The latest @SharqStrategic's #in_brief video⬇️
