Bloomberg: Tehran is counting on the weariness of the U.S. presence
Bloomberg reported that Iranian officials are calculating that they can endure internal pressures and wait for the increased costs and weariness of the U.S. military presence in the region.
A former U.S. National Intelligence Council official also stated that continuing this situation in the long term will impose significant operational and financial pressure on the U.S. Navy.
Meanwhile, the price of oil remaining around $100 and the approach of the midterm elections have increased the political and economic pressure on the Trump administration.
