Although the article was written and updated prior to the unexpected ceasefire between Iran and Israel (announced by Donald Trump and later confirmed by Iranian media), Common Dreams chose to publish it in its original form. Some slight inconsistencies remain due to the timing of the updates, but the deeper analysis stands: the ceasefire corresponds with one of the predicted scenarios (Scenario D – tactical de-escalation).
