Three security analysts have given the BBC their assessment of whether a swift end to the current hostilities is realistic. The panel, comprising specialists in Middle Eastern geopolitics and non‑state armed actors, examined the latest round of airstrikes and the diplomatic channels still open to both sides. While acknowledging the unprecedented tempo of the attacks, they emphasized that de‑escalation remains possible if both governments can secure a mutually acceptable framework for dialogue. However, they warned that without immediate, verifiable concessions, the risk of further escalation could undermine any emerging peace initiatives.
