What comes next after Donald Trump’s military campaign against Iran?

The US–Israeli operation known as “Operation Epic Fury” killed Iran’s Supreme Leader and struck military targets across the country, dramatically escalating tensions across the Middle East. While President Trump declared victory, he also acknowledged the risk that the conflict could simply produce another hostile regime.

With Iran retaliating and diplomacy stalled, analysts ask whether the once non-interventionist president has become more willing to take military risks — and what that could mean for the region and the world.
