Trump can huff & puff but without political fix Iran won't come down

The Islamic Republic is already weakened by previous sanctions and military strikes from the United States and Israel. However, analysts suggest that maximum pressure may fail to achieve results without a political solution. Some advisors suggest Trump should reduce public rhetoric while maintaining economic constraints, while other reports question if military leadership will restrain political recklessness.

However, analysts suggest that maximum pressure may fail to achieve results without a political solution.
