New Delhi, April 2 : 'Between Tehran and Tel Aviv', a book available on Amazon, written by Col. Rajeev Agarwal, Senior Research Consultant at Chintan Research Foundation, Delhi, serves as an urgent exposé of the ongoing West Asia conflict. It unravels the intricate web of alliances, hostilities, and historical grievances shaping the volatile region today.

As nations navigate a fragile balance of power, this book sheds light on Iran's influence in the region, revealing how its ambitions and actions have far-reaching implications for global peace and security.

The narrative delves deep into Israel's security concerns and military strategies, illustrating the challenges it faces in protecting its sovereignty amidst persistent threats.

The book highlights that the US has been pushed to fight a battle which was never its war. However, it was a situation which was largely built upon a number of strategic miscalculations made by America well before the October 7 Hamas attack took place.

Besides, it underlines Gaza's humanitarian crisis due to the ongoing violence and emphasises the urgent need for dialogue and resolution in a region where countless lives are affected.

In an age where international relations are intertwined, the book offers valuable insights for policymakers, scholars, and anyone seeking to grasp the undercurrents of global affairs.

The book is not just a recounting of events; itâ??s a clarion call for awareness and action in todayâ??s challenging geopolitical landscape. It captures important developments as they happened and relives moments of victory, defeat, death, anxiety and hope along the way.

In separately segregated sections, it focuses not only on the â??whatâ?? of the war but also raises questions on the â??howâ?? and â??whyâ??. It raises questions on various aspects of the war, how Israel regained military control over Gaza, why multiple ceasefire attempts failed, how Israeli intelligence agencies redeemed themselves, how Iran and Israel engaged in a direct military conflict for the first time, how Israel used this war to eliminate all other threats on its borders and, most importantly, how the war finally ended.

As the current war in Iran completes one month, there are vital lessons from the Gaza War, especially on the effects and implications of a prolonged conflict.
