Becca Wasser, Bloomberg Economics defense lead, said that shifting US objectives and neither side's ability to secure a decisive military victory could make a lasting resolution difficult in a US-Iran conflict. Wasser stated on Bloomberg This Weekend that repeated pauses in fighting could allow both sides to adapt and rearm, potentially expanding the conflict geographically. She said direct US-Iran talks would be necessary for a durable settlement.
