US-Israeli strikes can raze buildings, but they cannot extinguish Iranian identity The new round of  coordinated  military attacks by the  United States  and  Israel  against  Iran  marks a dramatic escalation in an already volatile confrontation.   The strikes, capping months of tensions since a previous wave of attacks in 2025, have pushed the region into one of its most dangerous moments in decades.   At a time when diplomatic channels had reportedly shown signs of progress, the renewed use of force has raised urgent questions about legality, legitimacy and the long-term consequences for regional and international security.
