Escalating US-Israeli aggression in the Middle East threatens regional instability and global security through complex web of alliances and proxy wars.
Original framing: “How far could the war with Iran spread beyond the Middle East?” — South China Morning Post
The original framing omits the historical context of US-Israeli aggression in the region, the role of indigenous and local perspectives in shaping the conflict, and the structural causes of regional instability, including the impact of colonialism, imperialism, and neoliberal economic policies. Additionally, the narrative fails to account for the experiences and perspectives of marginalized communities, including Kurdish and Iranian populations.

The conflict in the Middle East is a complex and deeply rooted issue, driven by a combination of historical, cultural, economic, and political factors.
The narrative of the conflict is shaped by a dominant Western perspective, which fails to account for the experiences and perspectives of marginalized communities. To address the underlying causes of the conflict, a regional peace process, promoting regional economic development, and fostering regional cooperation and dialogue are critical.
