One month after the US attack on Iran, Keoi Yamagishi analyzes it not just as a military conflict but a historical turning point challenging the ideal of war avoidance through law.
Historical Significance of the Iran Attack
One month has passed since the United States' attack on Iran. Contributor Keoi Yamagishi argues that this event should not be viewed as merely a military conflict.
