Iranian researcher: "Iran prefers to take blows rather than give in to Trump"

Dr. Arash Azizi, an Iranian researcher, said in an interview with N12 that Iran may prefer to endure aggression rather than concede to Trump. He estimates that even if there are attacks, an agreement will be signed by January. According to him, preemptive strikes have become part of Iranian doctrine, and a sign of a breakthrough is complaints from opponents of the deal.

Dr. Arash Azizi, an Iranian researcher and lecturer at Yale University, said in an interview with N12 that Iran may prefer to endure aggression rather than concede to US President Donald Trump. According to him, even if there are attacks, he estimates that an agreement between Iran and the US will be signed by January. Azizi explains that Iran wants to show it is not afraid and is ready for war, and that preemptive strikes have become part of its military doctrine. He notes that a sign of a diplomatic breakthrough is when opponents of the deal begin to complain loudly. He also says that regional countries, including Saudi Arabia and Turkey, fear the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz and another war. On the nuclear issue, Azizi argues that if the US removes sanctions, Iran will be ready for concessions such as international inspections and uranium dilution.
