At this point, the best expectation from the political world is that there is a possibility that the US and Iran will sign an agreement and not resume hostilities after the end of the ceasefire (April 22).
There are many uncertainties and contradictions in international information flows and it is difficult to say what concessions the parties have made or will make in order to reach a possible agreement. It is only obvious that the resumption of hostilities will be more destructive.
A war on which there are many “hand warmers”, depending on the results, those who plan their own hidden interests and expect a new regional situation, but the direct victims are few.
A war in which there were no winners as such and probably will not be.
