The Real Reason the Iran War May Never End - The Global Gambit - Pyotr Kurzin



Trump's Iran War may no longer be a temporary crisis. Beneath the headlines, something deeper is emerging — a new model of war that never fully ends.

Inside Iran, hardliners and pragmatists are clashing over whether negotiations with the United States should continue. At the same time, the Strait of Hormuz, energy markets, sanctions, and regional power struggles are turning this into something larger than a conventional conflict.

This video explores why Iran may have incentives to prolong instability, why internal divisions inside Tehran matter, and why this war could become a semi-permanent feature of the international system. If conflicts increasingly pause rather than end, Iran may be showing us what the future of geopolitics looks like.
