As renewed tensions involving Iran, Israel, and the United States reverberate across the region, Lebanon once again finds itself at the center of mounting geopolitical uncertainty.

Renewed Iran-Israel hostilities have reignited concerns about regional stability, diplomacy, and the Strait of Hormuz.

Greg Simons, Professor of Journalism at Daffodil International University in Dhaka, gives us his take on the repercussions of the US aggression against Iran for both Washington and the region.

Sa’d Nimr says the US is escalating its attacks on Iran because Trump believes he has already won the war and cannot understand why Tehran refuses to comply with what he wanted.

Political analyst Ali Rizk says that Washington’s war strategy was built on miscalculation, beginning with the assassination of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, which he says Trump believed could trigger "regime change".

With West Asia tensions mounting, the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb remain central to concerns over regional stability and global security.
