Israel–Iran Confrontation
The Escalation Years

This audiobook follows the shift from shadow conflict to direct confrontation across 2023–2026—when regional war spilled into maritime chokepoints, militia networks struck U.S. positions, and state-to-state attacks began to redraw the boundaries of “normal.” It breaks down how escalation actually happens: not as one decision, but as a chain of retaliations, thresholds crossed, and narratives that make restraint politically costly. With clear pacing and strategic clarity, it maps the new escalation ladder—drones, missiles, air defense, and the nuclear shadow—showing how momentum builds, why off-ramps disappear, and what signals matter most when time runs out.
