Middle East War Between Iran and US Enters Seventh Month

More than six months after the Middle East war began between Iran on one side and the United States on the other, the conflict continues to reshape the region. The fighting, which erupted in late 2024, has drawn in multiple regional actors and has led to significant casualties and displacement. Despite international calls for a ceasefire, both sides have shown little willingness to de-escalate, with recent exchanges of fire indicating that the war may persist for months to come.
