"The US-Israeli campaign has failed to achieve its goals. Iran has been badly hit, and the Gulf is paying the bill too. A ceasefire was accepted, allowing ships to pass safely through the Strait of Hormuz."
"This war did not emerge organically from the long arc of US-Iran confrontation. It was born from Israel's strategic doctrine post-October 7, 2023, aimed at neutralizing perceived existential risks."
"Neither the US nor Israel provided a United Nations Security Council mandate or a credible invocation of self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter, making this a war of choice."
The US-Israeli campaign did not achieve its objectives, resulting in a ceasefire brokered by Pakistan. This ceasefire allows safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz and incorporates Iran's 10-point peace proposal. The conflict's origins stem from Israel's strategic doctrine aimed at neutralizing perceived threats, particularly from Iran. The war lacked a legal basis under international law, as it was not a response to specific Iranian aggression and did not follow necessary legal frameworks. It was characterized as a war of choice, framed as a necessity to domestic and international audiences.
