New York Times experts and sources believe that these data indicate the difficulty of reaching any agreement in the near future. Some American officials also believe, according to the newspaper, that Iran is seeking to surround US President Donald Trump with political crises and obstruct energy supplies ahead of the midterm congressional elections.

According to American intelligence reports, according to what was published by The New York Times, Iran intends to continue the conflict for several months with the aim of embarrassing the American administration before the midterm elections. It is also estimated that Tehran may resort to field military escalation and cyber attacks targeting vital infrastructure within the United States.

Earlier, Ibrahim Zulfiqari, spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbia Central Command, stated that Iran will intensify its strikes against American warships if the United States does not stop its attacks on Iranian ships. He also stressed that Tehran does not rule out the possibility of expanding the scope of these attacks.
