- Attributed expert analysis — competing assessments
The New Yorker quoted International Crisis Group's Ali Vaez arguing that prewar concessions were available and the conflict may have reduced U.S. leverage. It also quoted FDD's Mark Dubowitz saying the U.S. and Israel won the war while warning that Iran could be winning the ceasefire if reported terms were accurate. These are attributed expert judgments, not official findings.
