Sfakianakis Says Iran Underestimates US Long-War Capacity
· World · Bloomberg, LiveMint, Times of India
Stavros Sfakianakis, a geopolitical analyst, argues in a Bloomberg video interview that Iran has misjudged the United States' willingness to sustain a prolonged military conflict. The analyst did not provide specific timelines or casualty projections, and no official Pentagon or Iranian military response was cited. The commentary came as tensions between Washington and Tehran continue over sanctions and regional proxy activity. Iran's foreign ministry and US Central Command did not issue statements in response during the segment. Sfakianakis cautioned that underestimating American endurance in a drawn-out war could prove costly. The interview did not detail what specific trigger might ignite broader hostilities.
