Global experts assess Middle East stability six months after airstrikes

Six months after joint military strikes by the United States and Israel against Iranian targets, international analysts report that the ongoing conflict continues to disrupt global energy markets and maritime trade routes. Despite sustaining major military damage, Tehran maintains strategic leverage over the Strait of Hormuz.

Foreign policy experts, alongside diplomatic figures such as Albanian Ambassador Zef Mazi, indicate that the conflict's next phase will depend on sanction duration, diplomatic willingness, and broader geopolitical rivalries involving Washington, Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran. Concurrently, regional observers note that localized disputes, such as discussions surrounding Kosovo's Ibër River, reflect wider realignments within international security frameworks as global power structures undergo shifting dynamics.
