U.S. Strikes Iran's Qeshm Island as Trump Talks Down War Risks

Is there any new development here? It seems like the war has turned into an endless cycle of USA airstrikes Iran, Iran bombards USA allies, and both sides take a hydration break whenever the international oil market gets too unstable.

Neither side has (or is willing to spend) the resources needed to win, but both sides also view a loss as an existential threat to their political careers.

War without end. It's how dictators stay in power.
