West Asia sits at the crossroads of power, faith, and conflict. Rich in energy resources and commanding some of the world’s most critical maritime routes, the region has been shaped by rivalries, shifting alliances, and unresolved historical disputes. At the centre of these tensions lies the Palestine question, a deep fault line that has defined the region’s political and strategic landscape for decades.

The war took a dangerous turn when Iran entered the conflict in April 2024, leading to the first direct military confrontation between Tehran and Tel Aviv. What began in Gaza quickly evolved into a wider regional struggle involving proxy militias and global powers. The crisis peaked during the ‘12 Day War’ of June 2025, when the US struck Iran’s nuclear facilities, pushing West Asia to the brink of a wider war.

Between Tehran and Tel Aviv: Gaza Story of an Unending War captures this dramatic and turbulent period. Through sharp analysis and vivid narration, the book examines how the Gaza war unfolded, why Iran and Israel entered direct conflict for the first time, and how the war reshaped the strategic landscape of West Asia. It relives moments of victory, defeat, death, anxiety and hope along the way.

A gripping account of war, power, and geopolitics, this is the story of a conflict that may have paused, but is far from over.
