Before dawn on a Monday in June 2026, the ancient rivalry between Israel and Iran crossed once more into open fire — missiles over cities, sirens across borders, and a ceasefire dissolved in hours. Israel struck military sites deep inside Iran after Tehran launched ballistic missiles in retaliation for Israeli operations in Lebanon, a sequence that unfolded despite direct appeals from Washington to hold back. The episode reminds us that even the most patient diplomatic architecture can be undone in a single night, and that the distance between negotiation and war is often measured not in miles
