TL;DR

Saeed Lailaz, a political analyst and journalist identified with Iran's reformist camp, said he assesses the United States may attack Iran again in February or March. He added that memoranda of understanding between the sides offer only a 'temporary pause' in the conflict, not a permanent solution.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Saeed Lailaz, an Iranian political analyst and journalist aligned with Iran's reformist faction, said in statements circulated Saturday evening that he assesses the United States could launch another round of strikes on Iran in February or March. He characterized any existing understandings or agreements between Washington and Tehran as providing only a 'temporary pause' in the broader conflict, not a durable resolution. The remarks add to a stream of commentary from Iranian analysts and officials on the trajectory of US-Iran tensions in the wake of Operation Epic Fury, which The Zioneer has covered extensively over the past weeks. Lailaz's assessment — from a single source, via the source '301 — The Arab World' — is not independently corroborated and reflects his personal analysis, not official Iranian or American positions.
