As the Iran-Israel conflict escalation enters its second week, concerns are mounting over its geopolitical and economic fallout.
Speaking to NDTV, strategic affairs expert Brahma Chellaney warned that escalating bombing campaigns rarely produce decisive political outcomes and may instead strengthen hardline forces. He pointed to historical examples such as the Vietnam War and the War in Afghanistan (2001-2021), arguing that prolonged air campaigns often increase resistance rather than end conflicts.
