The Hormuz closure is the part of this that will outlast everything else. You can rebuild air defences and replace leaders, but once global energy markets are disrupted at this scale, the economic shockwaves hit every country, including ones that have nothing to do with the conflict. Iran's strategy of hitting Gulf States rather than focusing on Israel alone is forcing countries that wanted to stay neutral into choosing sides. That's the real escalation here. Also, Ukraine offering drone expertise to Gulf States in exchange for pressure on Russia. This conflict is connecting theatres that most people still think of as separate honestly.
A peace deal was on the table. Iran had agreed. Trump bombed anyway. This is not a failure of diplomacy - it is the monopoly of violence in action.
