Khaberni - Political theory professor, Mohammad Abu Rumman, warned that any war on Iran would lead to "a massive and wide regional bloodbath", emphasizing that the issue is not only about reducing Tehran's nuclear or regional capabilities, but about the consequences of the potential strike on the overall balances in the region.
Speaking on the Al-Mamlaka channel, Abu Rumman commented on the anticipated indirect talks between the United States and Iran in Geneva on Thursday, stating that the fall of the Iranian regime - if it happens - would not necessarily lead to the birth of a stable or naturally-formed alternative regime.
He explained that today, Iran is not strong either domestically or internationally, noting that its regional influence has significantly declined in recent years, and that its "regional claws have been largely trimmed," to use his words.
He pointed out that Hezbollah does not intend to intervene militarily in case Washington directs "limited" strikes against Iran, but he also warned that targeting Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei represents a "red line" that could change the rules of engagement.
Abu Rumman mentioned that Tehran preempted the third round of talks scheduled in Geneva by talking about a "historical opportunity" to reach an "unprecedented agreement", despite the ongoing military buildup by Washington in the region.
Conversely, he relayed statements by U.S. Vice President JD Vance, who confirmed that President Donald Trump still prefers a diplomatic solution with Iran, hoping that Tehran will seriously engage with the negotiation process.
In his assessment, he indicated that the region might be just days away from a military confrontation, noting that he does not see a direct American interest in launching a strike against Iran, while the primary motivation - according to his analysis - is linked to Israeli calculations.
