US reasserts regional military dominance through direct strikes on Iranian targets; Iran demonstrates long-range strike capability challenging Israeli air defense; regional powers (UAE, UK) distance themselves; EU marginalized as observer calling for restraint; potential realignment as Gulf states recalibrate security partnerships.
