Gate News update. On April 5, Middle East issue scholar Mohammad Ali Shabani said in an interview that he believes US President Trump is ready to carry out his threat to strike Iran’s key infrastructure, which creates the risk of a serious escalation of the situation in the region. Iran, for its part, signaled to the United States that it “won’t back down” by launching an attack on Kuwait’s infrastructure. Mohammad Ali Shabani added: “To some extent, the current situation is like a standoff—neither side has a path that allows for a dignified exit. In this context, I think the likelihood of a serious escalation occurring in the region within the next 24 hours is very high.”
