Global instability persists six months after strikes on Iran

Six months after joint American and Israeli airstrikes on Iranian positions, regional instability and global economic disruptions persist. While Tehran's conventional military power was significantly impaired, Iran retains strategic leverage over vital maritime routes in the Strait of Hormuz.

Analysts note that the conflict's future path depends on Iran's internal political stability, economic endurance under sanctions, proxy network actions, and prospects for diplomatic re-engagement. Concurrently, regional disputes in the Western Balkans concerning the Ibër River, alongside the war in Ukraine and broader geopolitical competition between Washington, Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran, continue to complicate international affairs. Experts emphasize that whether diplomatic negotiations can effectively resume remains the central uncertainty facing global leadership.
