A Macquarie Bank report states that although there are external hopes for a quick peace agreement in the Middle East, the demands of both parties remain difficult to reconcile, making it unlikely to be achieved in the short term. It is also unlikely that Iran will give up its support for proxy forces. The conflict is not expected to last until mid-April; if the threat is eliminated by then, the United States will have the upper hand in negotiations.

ChainCatcher News, Macquarie Bank’s Global Strategist Thierry Wizman and Gareth Berry stated in a report that it is premature to have high expectations that a “peace agreement” in the Middle East will be reached in the coming days, as the demands from both sides still seem difficult to reconcile. Ideas such as the U.S. abandoning its demands regarding Iran’s nuclear assets or the U.S. withdrawing its bases in the Gulf region are unrealistic.

At this stage, it is also unlikely that Iran will give up support for its proxy armies. However, this conflict is unlikely to last beyond mid-April, as Iran’s threats are likely to be neutralized by then. Once the threats are eliminated, the U.S. will have the upper hand in any subsequent negotiations.
