Hello everyone, here is a question for you. If Iran is attacked, do you think the Middle East will plunge into a total war? As argued in my Iran book, Volatile State: Iran in the Nuclear Age, is that history of the Iranian-American relations is full of hostility and mistrust. So, noting that Washington withdrew, for example, unilaterally from the JCPOA in 2018, in addition to the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, have further complicated the matters. So, here's the thing. With now al-Julani in Syria taking over the government and the militants in Iraq reconsidering the withdrawal of the U.S. forces from Iraq, We all know how this is going to end. There is no doubt. What do you think? Make sure to leave me a comment in the comment section. Cheers!
