The United States and Israel have launched coordinated strikes on Iran, triggering retaliatory missile attacks across the Middle East and sharp exchanges at the United Nations. Tehran calls it a “war crime”. Washington says it is acting in the interest of global security.

Rajaratnam School of International Studies, to examine how this confrontation is unfolding, what it signals about the balance of power in the region and how prolonged instability could reshape the global landscape.
