Rumors of a new war and the military posture of the United States-Israel axis
The strategic confrontation between Iran, on one side, and the United States and Israel, on the other, has entered a new and uncertain phase following the large-scale military conflict in early 2026. The joint operations of the United States and Israel, codenamed Epic Fury and Roaring Lion, respectively, inflicted significant damage on Iran's military capabilities and strategic infrastructure.
But they did not succeed in dismantling the foundations of its conventional deterrence or produce a decisive political outcome. Consequently, the main factors driving the confrontation, in particular Iran's nuclear trajectory and the Strait of Hormuz, remain unresolved.
Since then, the context has evolved beyond the battlefield. The changing domestic political landscape in Washington after the November 2026 elections has imposed new constraints on the Trump administration, which could increase the costs of a prolonged confrontation and influence Tehran's strategic calculations.
The central question, therefore, is whether the military, economic, and political costs of resuming hostilities will push both sides toward a negotiated solution or preserve the current stalemate, or whether Washington and Tel Aviv will attempt to overcome the limitations of the previous campaign through a different and potentially broader military strategy.
