What might end Israel’s war on Iran?

Israel and the United States are conducting sustained attacks on Iranian targets while Iran continues retaliatory strikes, creating a cycle of escalation with no clear off-ramp. The pattern reflects months of tension following Iran's earlier attacks on Israel and U.S. positions in the region, with each side responding to the other's military action. The article examines conditions that might break this cycle—whether diplomatic negotiations, exhaustion of military objectives, or third-party intervention could bring an end to the hostilities. Regional stability and global oil markets remain vulnerable as long as the tit-for-tat dynamic persists without negotiated resolution.
