It traces the roots to the Iranian Revolution in 1979, when the Iranian people toppled the U.S.-backed monarchy and established an Islamic Republic led by آية الله الخميني.

It highlights the U.S. Embassy hostage crisis in Tehran—52 Americans held for 444 days—as a formative event that left a deep mark on bilateral relations.

The piece identifies two principal causes of the current confrontation.

The first is Iran’s nuclear program, which the United States views as a significant threat to regional and international security.

The second is Iran’s regional role, specifically its support for militias in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon, which has escalated tensions with Washington and its allies.

In response, the article says the United States imposed a series of sanctions on Iran targeting the oil, banking, and vital industrial sectors to pressure Tehran to change its policies.

The article states that after those sanctions and the outbreak of war between the United States and Israel on one side and Iran on the other, serious repercussions have followed.

Economically, it cites rising oil prices and impacts on global markets.

Politically, it warns that increased tension among regional and global powers may raise expectations of a third world war in which weapons banned and prohibited internationally could be used.

Humanitarily, it points to the suffering of the Iranian people, growing crises, rising numbers of refugees and asylum-seekers, and a deterioration of economic conditions regionally and globally.

The Iranian-American war is not merely a bilateral military dispute but a broader struggle for influence in the Middle East involving politics, religion, and economics.

The article argues that diplomatic solutions remain the safest option to avoid "destruction, catastrophe, and annihilation," but notes that lost trust between the parties may make any future agreement difficult to achieve and implement.
