  European countries are deeply fearful of Russia’s expansionist ambitions. As a result, there has been a significant rise in defense spending across Europe in recent years. These countries are also trying to reduce their dependency on the United States, and hence, leading nations are showing a clear inclination towards expanding their military strength.  .. There seems to be no near-term resolution to the Russia–Ukraine war. Similarly, no one is prepared to guarantee lasting peace in the Gaza Strip. Along with these two major wars in the past 2–3 years, conflicts such as the India–Pakistan standoff and border skirmishes between Cambodia and Thailand have also erupted. Added to this are U.S. President Donald Trump’s continuous pressure in the name of import tariffs and global mistrust regarding China.

Following the Israeli airstrikes, Iran has also launched missile attacks, further escalating the conflict. However, several factors—such as the dismantling of Hamas and Hezbollah in recent months, geographical distance, limitations of Iran's weapon systems, and Israel’s robust defense infrastructure—have significantly restricted Iran’s available options.   ... On June 12, Israel carried out airstrikes on Iranian territory, pushing tensions in West Asia to new heights. In response, Iran launched missiles at Israel. While most were intercepted by Israel’s air defense system, a few did cause damage. In retaliation, Israel has warned that Tehran could face severe consequences. It’s evident that further strikes by Israel are imminent. Simultaneously, the United States is increasing pressure on Iran to halt its nuclear program. In this context, Iran appears to be in a weakened position compared to past decades, leaving it with very limited strategic choices. This situation enables ...
