2026 The United States and Israel Launched Coordinated Military Strikes Against Iran
War in Iran: What Happens Next?: A Complete Analysis of the US-Israel Strikes, Regional Fallout, and the Road Ahead — 2026
Kindle Edition by BALAGURU KRISHNAMOORTHI (Author) 3/18/2026
On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran — and the world changed overnight.
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in the opening hours. Iran responded with 2,000+ drones and 500+ ballistic missiles targeting US military bases across Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and the UAE. The Strait of Hormuz — through which 20% of the world's oil flows daily — was effectively shut down. Oil prices surged 15% in 48 hours. And nobody in Washington had a clear plan for what comes next.
This book gives you the complete picture.
Drawing on analysis from the Brookings Institution, Morgan Stanley's Global Investment Office, the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies, the UK House of Commons Library, and independent academic research, this is the most comprehensive short-form analysis of the 2026 Iran war available anywhere.
Inside you will find:
Why the US and Israel launched the strikes — and why critics call it a war of choice with no clear objective
What is actually happening on the battlefield — targets struck, Iranian retaliation, the drone threat, and US military limitations
The three political scenarios for Iran's future — de-escalation, IRGC consolidation, or civil war and fragmentation
Who is running Iran now that Khamenei is dead — and why his son's succession changes almost nothing
How Gulf states, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Russia, China, and the UK are responding
The full economic and financial impact — oil prices, the Strait of Hormuz, Asian market exposure, safe-haven assets, and sector-by-sector analysis for investors
Why regime change from the air has a 0% success rate in modern history — and what a realistic endgame looks like
20 frequently asked questions on the Iran war answered clearly and completely
What history tells us about great powers attacking smaller nations — and why this war will be no exception to the pattern
Whether you are a policy professional, an investor trying to position your portfolio, a student of international relations, or simply a citizen trying to make sense of a rapidly changing world — this analysis gives you the facts, the context, and the expert perspectives you need.
The war has started. The question now is how it ends.

Iran's Rise and Rivalry with the US in the Middle East
Paperback – March 10, 2026 by Mohsen M. Milani (Author)
The 1979 Islamic Revolution triggered a cold war between Iran and the United States – former fast friends. Despite the US’s relentless efforts at containment, Iran has risen as a formidable power in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Gaza. Its newfound status not only frustrates the US but has swiftly become a thorn in the side of Israel and Saudi Arabia. How did Iran rise so rapidly? And as it faces ever increasing pressure at home and abroad, can it hold onto its power? Mohsen Milani guides us through the twists and turns of the Iran–US rivalry in the battlefields of the Middle East. Going from the fall of the Shah to revolutionary Iran’s alliances with Syria, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iraqi militias, and the Houthis in the Axis of Resistance, Milani lifts the veil on Iran’s foreign policy strategy and its implications for the region, the US and Iran itself.

Why the U.S.-Iran relationship has been uniquely poisoned since 1953
