Iran-US Tensions Escalate: Limited Conflict Strategy or Major War?

Tensions between Iran and the United States have risen again. Iran recently launched a missile attack on an American military base in Jordan. Then the United States launched retaliatory strikes inside Iran. After this incident, the direct confrontation between the two countries has increased. Now the big question is, when both Iran and the United States do not want a major war, then why is Iran constantly raising tensions? According to experts, Iran can adopt a strategy in which it does not go to war completely, but keeps up the pressure on the United States. Tehran feels that it can strengthen its position through limited conflict. The ongoing war between Iran and the United States is not limited to missile attacks. Both countries have their own strategies behind this. Iran is already facing economic difficulties due to US sanctions. Its economy has weakened and the damage to military bases has increased its troubles. If a major war starts between the United States and Iran, then Iran may not want to be in a situation in which the United States is trapped in a major war.
