The decision made by US President Donald Trump to launch an attack on Iran has startled both domestic and international observers, marking a drastic shift in US foreign policy that could plunge the Middle East into a prolonged conflict. His actions are seen as an extreme measure, purportedly intended to destabilize the Iranian regime, and it comes at a time when diplomatic efforts were showing signs of progress, particularly through scheduled talks in Geneva that were meant to reduce tensions. However, the abrupt shift towards military action raises serious concerns about the undermining of diplomatic processes.
