Future of US-Iran conflict remains uncertain six months after air strikes

Six months after joint American and Israeli airstrikes targeted Iranian positions, the conflict continues to disrupt global energy markets and maritime trade. While Iranian conventional military forces suffered significant damage, Tehran retains control over strategic trade routes, notably the Strait of Hormuz.

Analysts indicate that the next stage of the confrontation hinges on Iran's domestic stability, economic resilience under international sanctions, regional proxy activities, and the potential for diplomatic re-engagement. Concurrently, shifting geopolitical alliances involving Washington, Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran are reframing broader global dynamics, alongside ongoing regional disputes in Ukraine and the Western Balkans.
