The U.S. or intent to exert full economic pressure on Iran

According to Mahran Kamrawa, Professor of Government at Georgetown University Qatar, the Iranian Government is “intentionally” publishing news of the deaths of seven soldiers in the United States military attack, in an attempt to rally national sentiment and consolidate popular support during the war. He stated that his country was experiencing a wave of nationalism and that the authorities, by emphasizing the death of soldiers for their country, intended to maintain popular support for the regime. That support was crucial, as Iran was caught in high inflation, high unemployment and economic losses amounting to $270 billion. The attack on shipping is a manifestation of Iran ' s clear military inability to counter-balance with the United States and is shifting the focus of the conflict to the economic sphere. The United States may respond by similar means. “Revolution cannot take place in hunger. As people begin to worry about the next meal, basic security and shelter, the United States may try to deplete Iran economically.” Kim Xian
