Dr. Mohamed Sadek, director of the Arab Center for Political and Strategic Studies, has commented on the current situation regarding Iran and the United States. According to Sadek, US Vice President JD Vance recently stated that the confrontation with Iran will enter a completely different phase within two months. This statement comes as the Iranian regime continues to lose control over the Strait of Hormuz. The comments were made during an interview with the program "Al-Aalam Ala Al-Hawa".

The US House of Representatives recently voted for the third time to end the war in Iran and approve legislation that would limit President Donald Trump's ability to continue military action without Congressional approval. According to Dr. Sadek, this decision was made for several reasons, including the upcoming elections and the current state of the Republican Party. The US aims to reduce energy and oil prices, which have increased due to the escalation of military actions in the region.

Another significant factor contributing to the US decision is the entry of the Houthis into the conflict, which could lead to further increases in energy prices and exacerbate the global energy crisis. Dr. Sadek noted that these factors prompted the US Congress to vote to end the war in Iran. The ongoing conflict has significant implications for the global economy, and the US is seeking to mitigate its impact.

Dr. Sadek also discussed Iran's strategy in the face of the US conflict. According to him, Iran is focusing on internal issues rather than external conflicts, using populist rhetoric to claim victory in the face of the US military. Iran is promoting the idea that it has successfully stood up to the world's largest military power. This narrative is being used to assert Iran's strength and resilience.

The US Congress's decision to end the war in Iran reflects a shift in the US approach to the conflict. The ongoing tensions between the US and Iran have significant implications for regional and global stability. Dr. Sadek's comments provide insight into the complexities of the conflict and the motivations behind the US decision.

The program "Al-Aalam Ala Al-Hawa" is broadcast on the General Program network and is prepared and presented by Mohamed Al-Gamal and Dalia Rafeat. The program provides in-depth analysis and discussion of current events and issues.

The conflict between the US and Iran has been a major concern for the international community, with significant implications for regional and global stability. Dr. Sadek's comments highlight the complexities of the conflict and the need for a nuanced understanding of the issues at play.
