No limiar entre a retirada e a represália, o Oriente Médio se vê diante de uma das suas tensões mais delicadas em décadas: enquanto o presidente iraniano Pezeshkian sinalizava contenção e pedia desculpas aos vizinhos do Golfo, Donald Trump anunciava novos ataques 'muito duros' contra o Irã, prometendo atingir alvos ainda não tocados. A história registra esse momento como um paradoxo clássico da geopolítica — quando um lado recua, o outro avança, e a paz permanece suspensa entre a retórica da vitória e o risco real de escalada.
