What's the long-term global impact of the war on Iran? | Inside Story?

The war on Iran is like a big game that could change how the whole world plays for a long time.

Imagine you and your friend are playing a game with a pile of marbles. You both want to win, so you take turns grabbing marbles from the pile, but sometimes you push each other or take more than your share. That’s kind of what happened with Iran and some other countries: they started fighting, which made things messy for everyone nearby.

Iran is like a strong kid who got in trouble at school. Now, other kids are watching to see if Iran will get stronger again or stay upset for a long time.

This war might also change how countries trade marbles, or money and stuff, with each other. Some countries might team up with Iran, while others try to stop them from getting too powerful.

For now, it's like the game is still going on, and no one knows who will win in the end. But what’s clear is that this war could shape how everyone plays for many years to come.
