Israel and Iran are reportedly preparing for another war, although some analysts say it may not happen immediately. At the same time, the situation in Gaza appears frozen, with little progress on the ceasefire agreement and rising tensions in other Palestinian areas of the West Bank.

Vaez said both sides believe another conflict is inevitable, and that Iran is “doubling down on preparedness… to produce a new equilibrium that will wipe out the sense of Iranian weakness.”
