12:38Now PlayingMAY 5, 2026: Abas Aslani, Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Middle East Strategic Studies in Tehran, told Drop Site that Iran believes the U.S. may not be willing to sustain a prolonged confrontation for “several months,” despite recent escalation around the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaking yesterday morning, Aslani said Tehran sees no guarantee Washington would honor any future agreement, pointing to Trump abandoning the 2015 nuclear deal and citing Gaza, Syria, and Venezuela as examples where U.S. promises or sanctions policy remained unchanged, despite agreements with the United States.
He said this distrust is why Iran insists on a phased process that does not front-load major Iranian concessions, and refuses to immediately export its highly enriched uranium.
Aslani also discusses the recent UAE port explosion and how Iran views the Emirates in the ongoing U.S.-Israeli aggression on Iran.
