Analysts debate whether diplomacy can halt US-Iran escalation

Recent hostilities between the U.S. and Iran have escalated following U.S. strikes and Iranian retaliation, including the mining of the Strait of Hormuz. Experts discuss the lack of a clear diplomatic off-ramp, the shift in Iran's strategy from defensive to offensive, and the collapsing U.S. security architecture in the Middle East, which is prompting regional states to seek new alliances.
