Did the 12-Day War actually happen? What prevented it becoming a wider war?
What is the meaning of Israel's maximalist aims of regime change and regional dominance?
Why is Iran now leaning into Iranian nationalism, even using pre-revolutionary symbols?
Is a nuclear Iran now inevitable? What lessons will it draw?
How has the region been reconfigured over the past two years? What about Saudi and the Gulf states?
