#USIranStandoff Tensions between the United States and Iran keep reminding the world how fragile global stability can be. What starts as political rhetoric quickly spills into energy markets, regional security, and the everyday lives of millions of people far beyond the Middle East. Sanctions, military posturing, and diplomatic deadlock create a cycle where trust erodes and miscalculation becomes more likely. At the same time, ordinary citizens on both sides pay the price through inflation, restricted trade, and constant uncertainty. The real challenge isn’t just who “wins” a standoff, but how leaders can step back from escalation and invest in dialogue that reduces risk. History shows that confrontation without communication rarely ends well. The future of the region — and much of the global economy — depends on cooler heads choosing negotiation over noise.#USIranStandoff
