[Iranian Expert: Iranian Concessions May Not End the War for the US] According to the Iranian Students' News Agency, Iranian international affairs expert Khorsand stated that the US may not end the war simply by obtaining concessions from Iran. He said, "The US is trying to drag Iran into a war of attrition. Currently, we are facing pressure from the US economically, in the air, and at sea. To break this blockade, the cost to the US and the countries cooperating with the US in implementing this pressure must be increased." He also stated, "The US may not end the war simply because Iran makes concessions; instead, it may see each new concession as a sign that the other side is more likely to succumb to pressure."
