Iran-Israel Conflict: Expert Warns of Prolonged War as Attacks Escalate

Tensions escalate between Iran and Israel as tit-for-tat attacks raise concerns of a prolonged conflict. Recent strikes on energy infrastructure and air defenses suggest a shift in the nature of the conflict, according to Robert Hamilton, head of Eurasia research at the Foreign Policy Research Institute. "The types of targets they're hitting suggest they're in it for a longer war," Hamilton notes, highlighting the strategic implications of the attacks. Both sides' choices of targets indicate a potential for a more protracted and intense conflict. The situation raises concerns about regional stability and the potential for further escalation.
