The intensity of military operations in the Middle East has decreased, but the conflict has shifted to the diplomatic and informational sphere. The sides continue to strike each other in limited engagements, targeting strategic targets. At the same time, the propaganda struggle has intensified, with each side trying to present the situation as its victory. Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz remain key, as Iran tries to strengthen control. Despite intensified mediation efforts, the prospects for a quick resolution of the conflict remain uncertain.
