Iran's theatre of threats could spiral into unwanted war

Kan English

As Iran moves more into a direct player in the conflict in the Middle East, the threats coming out of Teheran as well as conditioning of ceasefire talk are part of diplomatic “theatre.” This according to Gerald Steinberg, professor emeritus of Political Science at Bar Ilan University. He told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that the Americans were extremely determined to de-escalate the situation, but warned that limited dialogue between the West and Iran left room for a March of Follies that could ignite a war no one wants.
