Foreign affairs expert Waiel Awwad told ANI that Washington's goal regarding Iran goes beyond nuclear issues and oil, aiming at regime change and the destruction of Iran, which would make Israel a dominant force in the region. He said the posture is also shaped by domestic political pressure ahead of the midterm elections, and that Iran views the conflict as an 'existential war'. With crude oil at USD 117 per barrel, the highest since April, Awwad highlighted economic pressures on India's energy security and inflation.
