Trump Prioritizes Iran Regime Change Over De-escalation, Says Expert
•US President Donald Trump is focused on regime change in Iran, not immediate de-escalation, according to Adam Dixon of Adam Smith’s Panmure House.
•Dixon stated that the US and Israel are "committed to regime change" in Iran and are in it "for the long run."
•Despite a fragile calm in energy markets, the backdrop remains volatile following Israeli strikes on Iran’s South Pars gas field and retaliatory attacks on Gulf facilities.
•Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to hold off further strikes at Washington’s insistence.
•Experts warn that the current pause in conflict is likely not the start of de-escalation, with long-term outcomes potentially leading to oil prices spiking to $180 per barrel if the conflict persists.
