Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated sharply, with Washington deploying major military assets to the Middle East following President Donald Trump’s call for the removal of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The U.S. has demanded that Tehran dismantle its nuclear enrichment and ballistic missile programs and curb its regional influence, warning of a more severe attack if Iran refuses to negotiate. Iran’s parliament has declared its nuclear and missile capabilities as a national red line, viewing U.S. pressure as a threat of regime change.

Analysts cited in the report warn that any U.S. military strike could destabilize not only Iran but the entire region. Such action might consolidate Iran’s ruling power, empower the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or trigger internal conflict. Tehran has vowed retaliation through regional allies, potentially drawing Israel and Gulf states into a wider confrontation.

The article concludes that a U.S. attack could ignite regional war, disrupt global energy markets, drive up inflation, and increase refugee flows toward Europe, amplifying global instability.
