Global stability remains uncertain six months after US-Israel strikes on Iran

Six months after joint military strikes by the United States and Israel against Iranian targets, the conflict remains unresolved and continues to disrupt international shipping and global energy markets. Despite sustaining notable damage to its military capabilities, Iran maintains strategic leverage over the Strait of Hormuz.

Expert assessments reported by Radio Free Europe indicate that the next phase of the confrontation hinges on diplomatic efforts, the endurance of international sanctions, and great-power competition involving Washington, Beijing, and Moscow. Concurrently, Albanian Ambassador Zef Mazi noted that localized regional disputes, such as discussions surrounding Kosovo's Ibër River, mirror broader realignments within the international rules-based order amid ongoing geopolitical friction.
