"Two weeks later, there's still no reason to believe the war in Iran will end anytime soon, and even if it did, so much damage has already been done. The death toll continues to mount, including at least 1,300 civilians in Iran, hundreds more in Lebanon, and as of Friday, 13 U.S. servicemembers who have been killed in action."
"Though U.S. and Israel have struck thousands of targets and President Trump invents new ways to declare premature victory each day, the counterstrikes from Iran and its allies continue, too. The Strait of Hormuz is impassable, the global oil market is a mess, and it's not clear that anybody really knows what will happen, or what to do, next."
Two weeks into the conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, the war shows no signs of ending despite extensive military operations. At least 1,300 Iranian civilians have been killed, with hundreds more casualties in Lebanon and 13 U.S. servicemembers dead. Millions have been displaced from their homes. Despite thousands of targets being struck and repeated declarations of victory, Iran and its allies continue launching counterstrikes. The Strait of Hormuz remains impassable, disrupting global oil markets. The situation remains uncertain with no clear strategy or resolution in sight.
