Tensions between the U.S. and Iran have escalated, raising concerns about a potential U.S. attack and its consequences. The U.S. has increased its military presence in the Middle East, with President Trump threatening a more severe attack if Iran doesn't agree to a deal regarding its nuclear program, ballistic missiles, and regional influence. Iran views these demands as a threat to its regime, making a deal unlikely. A U.S. military action, depending on its scale and targets, could trigger a crisis in Iran, the Middle East, and globally, regardless of whether it leads to regime consolidation or turmoil in Iran.
