TechFlow News, March 24: According to JINSHI Data, Ben Rieger, a global strategist at Australia’s major banking group Macquarie Group, stated in a report that it is premature to hold excessively high expectations for a “peace agreement” in the Middle East to be reached in the coming days, as the two sides’ demands still appear difficult to reconcile.
It is highly unrealistic to expect the U.S. to abandon its demands concerning Iran’s nuclear assets—or to withdraw entirely from its military bases in the Gulf region.
It is also unlikely at this stage that Iran will relinquish its support for proxy forces. However, the conflict is unlikely to persist beyond mid-April, as Iran’s threat is likely to be eliminated by then. Once that threat is removed, the U.S. will hold the upper hand in any subsequent negotiations.
