Political analyst and Jedaal Television presenter Ali Alizadeh stated that Iran possesses sufficient resources to sustain a prolonged war compared to the United States and Israel. Speaking from London, he said Iran’s defense strategy is far less expensive than Western air defense systems, as the country produces missiles and drones domestically at low cost. According to him, if the conflict continues, it will likely benefit Iran.

Alizadeh referenced former U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim of preparing for a four- to five-week war, noting that the 12-day Israel-U.S. war against Iran last June showed that each additional day of fighting would become harder for Israeli citizens. He added that as Israel and U.S. missile defense systems and other supplies deplete, their next steps will be uncertain.

He further argued that Israel dragged Trump into the conflict and that Trump underestimated Iran’s resilience. Alizadeh described Iran’s government as patient and strong, suggesting that Trump is realizing he has been cornered by a joint war effort.
