According to the US intelligence agency assessment report, the new round of US military attacks on Iran is unlikely to have a major impact on the Iranian government, and it is also difficult to force Iran to soften its position during negotiations; the US and Iran will fall into a long-term confrontation. The US “Washington Post” reported on the 20th using several current and former US officials as sources. The above assessment report was mainly written by the US Central Intelligence Agency and has already been reported to the Trump administration. The report points out that the US and Iran are currently in an “infinite standoff” between “peace and war.” Although the US and Israel attacks have led to the deaths of many senior Iranian officials and damage to a large amount of military equipment, Iran still has strong ability to withstand pressure and survive. According to an analysis report by the CIA in May of this year, even if the US imposes a maritime blockade on Iran, Iran can “hold out” for at least 3 to 4 months before facing serious economic difficulties. According to the “Washington Post” report, this report highlights the Trump administration's difficult situation in the war in Iran. The Trump administration is currently continuing to expand the scale of the attack, leading to an impasse in the war. If the US further escalates its operations, such as sending ground forces, not only will it not be able to guarantee the achievement of military goals, but it may also bring greater political risks to the Trump administration, because the Iranian war is “very unpopular” within the US.
