Analysts Say War and Deal Failed to Neutralize Key Threats from Iran
By
Neil MacFarquhar
Summary
Analysts assess that neither the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran that began on Feb. 28, 2026, nor any subsequent agreement has neutralized the primary threats emanating from Iran. Despite President Trump framing the campaign as a transformative move for the Middle East, experts argue that the core dangers remain largely unchanged after nearly four months of conflict.
