Ongoing War of Attrition Continues in Unspecified Region

Middle Eastern outlets describe the conflict as an American and Israeli war of choice that is inflicting heavy costs on Iran’s society and economy without a clear path to peace. Some voices say the real objective from hard‑line circles is not just weakening Tehran but dismantling the Iranian state, while others stress that only US political decisions can end the fighting. They expect Iran to focus on survival and endurance, betting that domestic and international pressure will eventually push Washington and Israel to scale back.
