📍 How it ended
The coverage of the Iran‑related tension remained focused on the prospect of a deal and the broader question of whether peace could be achieved, with commentary urging an end to what was described as a “phony cease‑fire.” Opinion pieces warned that the region was still caught in a “dangerous limbo” that left Iran and the world poised between peace and war. No definitive resolution emerged, and the story faded from the headlines without a clear outcome.
