Despite stunning early successes in Israel’s unprecedented strikes on Iran, a weekend of intensive bombardment and retaliation is raising questions about Israel’s exit strategy – how it can end this conflict with its ambitious goals achieved.

Elsewhere in the statement, the IRGC claimed that Iran has “tracked and destroyed three cruise missiles, 10 drones, and dozens of hostile micro-UAVs” in areas of Iran that were attacked. “Stuck” – that’s how most people I’ve spoken to describe life right now in Iran.

Iran launched missile strikes on Tel Aviv and Haifa, causing casualties and damage, amid escalating tensions with Israel. As global leaders converge on the G7 summit, the conflict's potential to widen looms large.
