Washington’s main goal is to stabilize the markets and stop the oil price surge, Turkish expert Faik Bulut told Sputnik.
US President Donald Trump claimed in a speech on Wednesday night that the US was "nearing completion" of its "core strategic objectives" in the war on Iran.
Bulut called the statement “a tactical game to buy time for its own interests” amid protests against the Iran war in Europe, the US and other countries.
The US unsuccessfully tried to win Europe over to its side, but then decided draw Arab countries into the war — but to no avail, the expert said.

“When Trump entered this war, he did not fully understand what he was getting into — and now he is finding it difficult to bring it to a close,” Bulut said.
