Iran Does Not Want War With U.S

Divining Iran’s intentions from its enriched uranium production is difficult, but over the years the rate has been more closely linked to the level of tension in Iran’s relationships with the United States and Israel than it has been with the technical necessities of production.

In recent days, after a drone attack linked to an Iran-allied group killed three American service members in Jordan, Tehran has repeatedly signaled that it does not want a direct confrontation with the United States.

On Tuesday, the Iran-backed militia that appears responsible for the drone attack, Kata’ib Hezbollah, or Brigades of the Party of God, said it was giving in to pressure from Iran and Iraq to cease targeting American forces. The militia is the largest and most established of the Iran-linked groups operating in Iraq.
