Global order tensions rise six months after strikes on Iran

Six months after joint US and Israeli airstrikes targeted Iranian military infrastructure, the conflict remains unresolved, continuing to disrupt global energy markets and maritime trade. According to recent analyses, Tehran retains critical operational leverage over the Strait of Hormuz despite suffering significant military degradation. Observers note that the next phase of the confrontation will depend on Iranian internal stability, economic endurance under sanctions, proxy activity, and the feasibility of diplomatic re-engagement.

Concurrently, analysts emphasize that localized Balkan territorial disputes, including debate surrounding the Ibër River, reflect wider structural shifts in the international system. These regional friction points increasingly intersect with strategic competition among major global powers, including Washington, Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran.
