Is this ceasefire the end of the war, or just the end of this round? Daniella and Yossi Alpher argue that the campaign against Iran looks less like decisive victory and more like mowing the lawn: inflicting damage, buying a little time, and accepting that the threat will return. They break down the winners and losers so far: Iran, Israel, Trump, Netanyahu, Hezbollah, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon, and ask what was actually achieved beyond tactical success. A hardheaded discussion of war aims, strategic illusions, and why the region may be heading not toward peace, but toward the next cycle.
