Iranian press review: Political figures expect continued but limited confrontation with US

A majority of Iranian political figures have said a full-scale military conflict between Iran and the US is unlikely, but warned that limited confrontations will possibly continue.

On Tuesday, Khabar Online interviewed five current and former political figures from across the political spectrum about the future of military confrontations with the US. While they offered different views on the future of relations between the two countries, most agreed that neither side appears willing to enter a prolonged war. 

Instead, they expected military pressure, limited clashes, and diplomatic efforts to continue.

Former moderate lawmaker Ali Motahari said the recent exchanges are unlikely to develop into a broader conflict.
