Humanity's next great voyage begins.
We are in the midst of a rupture.
Well, it's a good question because where you start is a crucial position in many stories about the Middle East.
Because if you start at one place, then somebody else will inevitably say, no, you should have started earlier because that caused that.
You know, that begat that, to use the biblical phrase.
So look, I think you should just look in general and just say, look, we're in a war.
The ceasefire in this war is, what, about two months old.
The ceasefire has broadly held, give or take, the odd confrontation, skirmish in the Strait of Hormuz and...
broadly held in terms of overt war between Israel and Iran.
There's obviously been fighting in Lebanon and that has been contested.
And what's happened here is the Lebanese battlefield has now escalated
in a way that has broadened the conflict.
So instead of it just being confined to as a battlefield to southern Lebanon and northern Israel, it has led to escalation and we can discuss who fired first, but it has now led to escalation, direct confrontation and missiles flying between Israel and Iran and
over the last, you know, 24 plus hours.
And that's got us into the place we're in now.
I think one of the interesting things about this war is just how much it's demonstrated both the strengths and the weaknesses of the key belligerents, and in particular the United States, because, as you say, Donald Trump started this war.
He had the capacity to start this war.
He has...
demonstrated America's perhaps unparalleled ability to project force around the world.
I'm not sure there are many other countries that would have both the power and the will to do what the Americans have done in this war.
