The US-Iran conflict has deep roots in the 1953 CIA-organized coup, which overthrew Iran's democratically elected government. Historical parallels include the Vietnam War and Soviet-Afghanistan conflict, where external intervention led to prolonged instability.
The US-Iran conflict is not a simple bilateral issue but a symptom of deeper structural tensions in global geopolitics.
Historical grievances, economic sanctions, and ideological divides must be addressed through a multilateral framework that includes regional actors and civil society. Drawing from indigenous relational models, scientific conflict resolution strategies, and cross-cultural mediation practices, a sustainable peace requires moving beyond transactional diplomacy to a systemic approach that prioritizes justice, inclusion, and long-term stability. This synthesis aligns with the broader global shift toward cooperative security and regional integration, as seen in the European Union and ASEAN.
