Original framing: “Lack of a clear Iran plan could suck US into a long conflict: ‘Where does this go?’” — The Guardian - World
The current situation in Iran is part of a long history of US and Israeli aggression in the region, dating back to the 1953 CIA-backed coup in Iran. This aggression has been fueled by a desire for regional dominance and control of strategic resources.

The lack of a clear plan from the US administration has raised concerns about the potential for an open-ended conflict. A diplomatic solution is the most likely scenario, but it would require the US and Israel to engage in meaningful negotiations with regional actors, including Iran, Turkey, and the Gulf states. The perspectives of marginalized communities in the region, including the Kurdish and Arab populations of Iran, are essential for finding a peaceful solution to the conflict. The international community should provide humanitarian aid to affected populations in the region, including refugees and internally displaced persons.
