As the regional and global consequences of the US-Israeli strike against Iran grow, Donald Trump seems to be trying to create an image of victory in order to find a political solution to the conflict, writes Teheran Times.
But Iran, which has maintained its internal unity and steadfastness, has clearly stated that any ceasefire is possible only with recognition of its rights and guarantees that the US and Israel will not attack again.
The war did not lead to the abrupt collapse expected in Washington and Tel Aviv. On the contrary, it has unleashed an avalanche of military, political, and economic consequences that neither America nor Israel is prepared to deal with.
Iran has proven its ability to resist and fight back, global markets are in turmoil, and the conflict now looks less like a path to regime change and more like a strategic trap that the United States has set for itself and cannot escape.
