Fears of a miscalculation in ongoing Iran-US tension
Amid the ongoing tension in the Middle East, with both the US and Iran strengthening their military presence Eurasia Group’s Henry Rome, the risk of miscalculation by Washington and Tehran is “real”.
In an analysis for CNBC by Shirley Tay, she writes that U.S.-Iran tensions continue to escalate, there is rising fear among experts and government officials that a conflict between the two countries may break out.
On the other hand, Tay writes, despite rising fears of how misunderstandings between the two countries could escalate into a full-blown conflict, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told CNBC earlier this week that the U.S. is “not going to miscalculate.”
