    • US seems to have been that they're not about to go down a military route but do you think that that actually is a possibility? Well first of all his messaging is very clear. He's putting pressure on the Iranian side. He's making clear that if the Islamic Republic, if the war continues the Islamic Republic is going to lose. So he's talking about the sheer asymmetry of power between the two sides, between Israel and Iran. And in addition we have some indications that there might be a military build-up from the United States also underpinned by some of the things that President Trump said. So we cannot at this point of time exclude the possibility of the United States entering the war sooner or later. But this again primarily I think this is meant to increase pressure on the Islamic Republic to concede, to actually signal that they are willing for major concessions. And at the moment are they willing to make any concessions like that do you think? I think they are.
