> Oleg Akulinichev, deputy chairman of the Russian-Iranian Business Council, says the United States has changed its tactics in the war with Iran. He characterizes the new approach as a bet on destabilizing the situation inside Iran. Akulinichev adds that the strategic objectives of the United States and Israel have not changed. His assessment therefore presents the conflict as involving both military action and pressure aimed at Iran’s internal stability.
