Iran may have reached a moment that could bring an end to years of pressure and military threats from the United States and Israel. This view was expressed by Jacques Baud, a former NATO adviser and retired colonel of the Swiss General Staff, during a broadcast on a YouTube channel.

According to Baud, the current situation goes far beyond routine defense. He describes it as a phase of state consolidation: social cohesion inside the country is strengthening, while the military sector is being developed in a consistent and structured way. Iran, he notes, is not only continuing missile launches but also expanding production, while simultaneously advancing its military-industrial complex and building broader political support abroad.

At the same time, Baud argues that the strategic clock is working against Washington. In his assessment, the United States is gradually losing its room for maneuver with each passing day.

He pointed out that Iran has faced threats of attack from Israel and the United States for roughly three decades and now appears determined to bring this prolonged confrontation to a definitive conclusion. In his view, Donald Trump effectively created an opening for Tehran to push toward a full resolution. Baud stressed that the longer this process drags on, the more advantages Iran gains, while the United States sees its flexibility steadily diminish.

The military campaign by the United States and Israel against Iran has been ongoing since February 28, with both sides regularly exchanging strikes. Authorities in Tel Aviv state that their primary objective is to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Washington, for its part, continues to threaten the destruction of Iran’s military capabilities and calls for a change of power. Iran, meanwhile, emphasizes its readiness to defend itself and says it currently sees no grounds for resuming negotiations.
