New Delhi: West Asia strategist Waiel Awwad on Monday shared his insights on the recent US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, highlighting the potential consequences of further escalation.
While speaking to ANI, Awwad warned that the conflict could threaten global peace and security, potentially destabilising the entire region. He cautioned that further escalation could lead to a wider conflict, with potentially catastrophic consequences.
Awwad underscored Iran’s significant geopolitical role, making it a crucial player in regional dynamics. He suggested that the US is aware of Iran’s strength and the potential consequences of a full-scale conflict, which may influence their decision-making.
Awwad told ANI that the US understands the geopolitical importance of Iran. He remarked, “America understands, despite showing of power, that Iran is not a small country. It’s a geopolitically very important country. It’s a regional power to reckon with, and they cannot escalate the war with Iran because that will be devastating and a catastrophe for the whole region. The whole Gulf will be engulfed with fire if the US continue the policy of aggression along with Israel.”
Bringing to attention how Iran is known for retaliating after its leaders had been attacked in the past, Awwad observed, “Now the American knows that after this attack (airstrikes on nuclear sites of Iran), Iran will not sit quiet. Iran may be taking some time to patiently find the target”.
While speaking to ANI, Awwad opined that the US and Israel’s primary objective is regime change in Iran, with the nuclear program being used as a pretext. He said that the US is motivated by a desire to control the region’s oil resources and dominate the global trade routes, including the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea. (ANI)
