US-Iran strikes spark escalation fears while both sides seen as avoiding 'all-out' war

US Studies Centre Research Director Jared Mondschein discusses the risk of escalation between the US and Iran following recent tit-for-tat strikes. “This can obviously always escalate; it can go back to an all-out war,” Mr Mondschein said. “I think that is pretty unlikely. “I think both actors also do not want an all-out war; they both do not see it as advantageous to their domestic interests for an all-out war.”
