Last month, former U.S. President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu launched a surprise strike on Iran hoping to collapse the regime and reshape the entire region.
Instead of a quick win, the attack left Iran unbroken, sparked a spill‑over into the Gulf, and shut the busy Strait of Hormuz for weeks.
The cease‑talks that followed are shaky, and every skirmish – from a U.S. helicopter shot down to bombings over Lebanon – signals a long‑term, tense standoff.
With trade routes threatened and Gulf nations scrambling, the clout of compulsory power has turned into a permanent, high‑stakes tug‑of‑war.
If the two leaders can’t agree on how to end the conflict, the world watches a fresh chapter of Middle‑East drama unfold day by day.
