As could be expected, the war between the US, Israel, and Iran has come to a sudden halt with an abrupt, though welcome, decision to call for a ceasefire for at least two weeks. As many had anticipated, hostilities ceased when US President Donald Trump decided so, with all sides declaring victory, which is mainly true in their minds. In reality, however, there are more losers than winners in this war, including countries that opposed the conflict from the outset, yet still found themselves embroiled in it against their wishes.
It remains to be thoroughly examined how the US entered this war without exhausting all diplomatic options to achieve the objectives it had set during the recent negotiations in Geneva: ensuring that Iran would not develop military nuclear capabilities, reducing its ballistic missile stock and range, and curbing its support for proxy groups across the region. But what has emerged with alarming clarity is that as long as Israel’s extreme right wing, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, remains in power, and, similarly, for as long as the current regime in Tehran persists, with the growing influence of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the stability of the entire region will remain in constant and severe jeopardy.
