On the final day of February, American and Israeli forces launched coordinated strikes against Iran, setting in motion a conflict that would refuse to stay within any border drawn for it. What began as a military operation became, over months, a regional unraveling — drawing neighboring states into its orbit, spiking oil prices, and confronting the world with the enduring cost of escalation. By midsummer, the question was no longer how the war started, but whether anyone could find the path out.
