Analysts led by Helima Croft noted in a report that there has been no pre-election "stepping back" in this war, with both the US and Iran maintaining their deeply entrenched negotiating positions. The overall trend still seems to point to a short-term US military escalation. The key question is whether any new action will be a final, decisive blow before the US withdraws, or a broader military operation aimed at completing the mission and facilitating regime change. If the US chooses a more comprehensive military operation, the risk of a more devastating Iranian retaliation will increase. Even if Congress fails to halt the war after the midterm elections, a Democratic victory in one or both houses of Congress would likely lead to stricter measures to control funding (i.e., limiting war funds).
