RUSI analyst: Iran deliberately prolonging war with US, assessing no existential threat

started August 14, 2026 at 6:17 AM · last changed 3d ago

Summary

According to RUSI analyst Michael Stephens, nearly six months into the war Iran assesses that the US is not prepared for a ground invasion, giving Tehran room to prolong the conflict. Stephens says the economic and military toll on Iran is painful but not existential to the regime's survival, and that the earlier phase of mass protests has passed.
