What happened

In Pictures Hundred days of the US-Israel war on Iran As the US-Israel war on Iran marks 100 days, a complete ceasefire still seems elusive, with the loss of civilian lives mounting in the region.

Why it matters

The US-Israel war on Iran is in its 100th day, and the conflict has settled into a grinding, unpredictable deadlock — far removed from the “very fast” campaign United States President Donald Trump once promised.

Common ground

A Pakistan-brokered ceasefire announced on April 8 has done little to stop the bloodshed.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Exaggeration / Hyperbole: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
