Uncertain future of Middle East under shadow of Israeli attack on Iran
In June 2025, the Middle East seems to have entered a new, more bloody and uncertain chapter of its prolonged instability. This largest and most comprehensive airstrike in recent memory, carried out by Israel, has not only pushed Iran’s military infrastructure to the brink of destruction, but has also brought about a deep ideological, diplomatic, and political crisis. The significance of this attack is not limited to the number of bombs and missiles—it is a well-planned, multilayered, and symbolic strike that has called into question the existence, identity, and regional leadership claim of Iran’s state system.
