## Resource

The Iran conflict ended in smoke and ruin—billions spent, thousands dead, and zero lasting gains. The Strait of Hormuz was already open, Iran’s nuclear stance unchanged, and both the U.S. and Israel walked away with depleted arsenals and diminished global leverage. Far from crushed, Iran held its ground for three months against a superpower, sparking theories it was a distraction. Tensions between Washington and Jerusalem simmered, with Israel’s security ambitions now shackled by U.S. demands. Australia narrowly avoided chaos, but recovery is slow—this isn’t peace, it’s pause.
