No face-saving way’ for US, Iran to step back from the brink
Mohammad Ali Shabani, a Middle East scholar and editor of Amwaj.media, says he believes Trump is prepared to deliver on his threats to hit Iran’s critical infrastructure, posing a severe risk of regional escalation.
Iran, for its part, has carried out attacks on Kuwaiti infrastructure to show the US it is “not going to flinch”, Shabani told Al Jazeera.
“We have this situation now where it’s kind of a duel of sorts, with both sides not having any face-saving way to step back,” he added. “Mindful of that, I think there’s a great chance of a severe escalation in the region over the next 24 hours.” PER ALJAZEERA
