Trump's Iran gamble pays off as WWIII doomsayers now praise Israel-Hamas ceasefire
US airstrikes on Iranian military targets in June sparked fears of a global conflict, but four months later, a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has brought relative calm to the region. Critics who warned of WWIII have now praised the agreement as a success.

Trump's decision to launch strikes against Iranian military targets in June has paid off as a recent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas marks a significant shift away from WWIII doomsayers, with the Middle East now experiencing relative calm after four months of heightened tensions. The US action was widely criticized at the time but appears to have had a deterrent effect on Iran's aggressive behavior. The Israeli-Hamas ceasefire has been praised by some as a major achievement, bringing an end to a period of violent conflict in the region. As a result, experts are now reassessing the risks of a wider war in the Middle East.
