WorldIran prefers conflict with US over peace to suppress internal uprising, activist warns

Human rights activist Majid Sadeghpour says Iran’s leaders prefer continued confrontation with the United States and Gulf neighbors because conflict diverts public attention from economic hardship and opposition to the regime. He argues the government fears a domestic uprising more than foreign military action, while Iran continues to be accused of attacking commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz despite an agreement not to do so.
