In less than six hours, the dynamics of the Middle East conflict underwent a significant transformation. Shortly after that, Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the political bureau of Hamas, was targeted in Tehran.

This is a central point in all conflicts in the Middle East, as its solution is primarily based on a political decision rather than a military one.
