US President Donald Trump has said Iran could be hit again militarily if necessary. The statement has brought security risks in the region and concerns over energy markets back onto the agenda.
Political analyst Ramiya Mammadova, speaking to Globalinfo.az, said midterm elections are approaching in the United States:
The analyst said Trump has stepped up such statements ahead of the election:
“This is a noteworthy point. It appears the US leader must be more active before the election and make such high-flown statements to win the audience’s support. I believe we will witness such statements in the coming period as well.
I see here a mutual political game between Israel and the United States. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also says in his speeches that they have agreed with the US and will strike Iran. Trump, in his statements, says they can hit Iran at any moment.
In my opinion, both leaders are resorting to such political moves to gain additional support in the elections. As for the likelihood of a new US strike on Iran, it is possible. Because the two countries have still not reached common ground, and no agreement has been achieved between the parties. Therefore the US can reignite the conflict at any moment.

I believe the countries of the Middle East should be far more concerned about the processes under way. Because the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and strikes on the countries of the region could create serious problems. That is, even if not today, then in the future those countries may protest against US policy.
The security issue in the region is in question. Although the Mecca Agreement has been signed, it does not eliminate the existing risks. On the contrary, Washington is trying to build a control mechanism in the region through Turkey. However, what contribution the Mecca Agreement will make to peace is not yet clear.”
