An attack on Lebanon is meant to break the pause in the war

In the face of serious threats from the United States and Iran’s response, after a lot of efforts by Pakistan and other countries, a sudden change has led to a pause in the war. However,Pakistan and other facilitator countries can only provide a platform for peace talks. The United States should also understand this reality. As Iran is now already exerting geopolitical influence as an emerging fourth center of world power, and as a very close ally of China and Russia, Iran has now emerged as a power in the Middle East. Now, for these negotiations, progress could only be positive with Iran if there is a balance of interests; otherwise, no agreement can be reached for long-term peace in the region and the world. Can it guarantee permanent peace? I have written in my blog, “Global Powers in Play: How U.S. Supremacy Faces Its Biggest Challenge”, that this war could be paused but cannot be ended, as I have explained for different reasons. One reason is that, at this stage, if the war ends, it could strengthen Iran’s position in the Middle East, especially as Iran has become stronger over just three weeks of conflict, and Israel will not accept this outcome. As this war paused for 15 days, Israel’s attack on Lebanon continues. Lebanese authorities and international agencies have reported that some strikes have resulted in damage to residential buildings and infrastructure, with civilian casualties reported in certain incidents. These attacks raise serious questions about the future of peace efforts in the Middle East and the stability of the ceasefire. Many analysts now say that Israel did this only to break the ceasefire agreement. Without Israel halting attacks in the region, a long-term pause in the war cannot be achieved, as recently observed. #War #MiddleEast #Lebanon #Israel #Iran #USPolitics #Pakistan #PeaceTalks #Ceasefire #Geopolitics #InternationalRelations #Conflict #Diplomacy #GlobalPolitics #SecurityCrisis
