Luis Fleischman, a professor of sociology at Palm Beach State College, analyzes the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran, arguing that economic sanctions will hardly alter the behavior of the Iranian regime as long as it can maintain its power structures. In his view, China will remain a key factor for Tehran, and economic pressure alone will not be enough to bring about political change.

Fleischman also questions the timeframe set by President Trump to end the war and analyzes the consequences of a potential loss of support in Congress after the midterm elections. According to his interpretation, Trump could retain some room to maneuver during the transition period between the election results and the installation of the new Congress.

The professor suggests that the future of the conflict will also depend on Israel's ability to strike at the heart of Iranian power structures, the potential mobilization of the opposition within Iran, and who might assume a transitional role. Fleischman maintains that negotiations might not resolve the underlying conflict and argues that the Iranian regime must be analyzed in terms of its military structure and its capacity to maintain its grip on power.
