In this third part of his conversation with Jacob Heilbrunn, Dr Sumantra Maitra rejects comparisons between America’s attack on Iran and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Iran, he argues, is weakened but remains a resilient, survival-driven state that cannot be transformed like Venezuela. Any attempt at regime change would require a catastrophic ground war. Meanwhile, the Israeli-Iranian balance is eroding as Turkey rises, creating a new strategic rivalry that could leave Washington trapped between a NATO ally and Israel.
