Iran-Isreal War: When Will It End (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798233645846)

The Israel-Iran war did not begin on February 28, 2026. It began in 1979, when Iranian revolutionaries tore down the Israeli flag in Tehran and replaced it with a Palestinian one. Understanding when the Israel-Iran conflict started - and why it escalated into the open war the world is watching today - is what this book is for.

Iran-Israel War: When Will It End is the most comprehensive single-volume account of the conflict available to general readers. Written in the clear, authoritative voice of a seasoned international correspondent, it takes you from the origins of the confrontation through the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, the 2024 direct missile exchanges, the Twelve-Day War of June 2025, and the devastating Operation Epic Fury of February 28, 2026 - the operation that killed Iran's Supreme Leader, mined the Strait of Hormuz, and sent global oil markets into crisis.
