AIPAC owns most of Congress. The illusion is both sides want this war, they just have to make it look like they don't.

Curious to hear how those opposed to the conflict see this playing out - diplomacy? Containment? How does this play out for the region in the long term?

For me it is hard to see how this could resolve without the demilitarization of Iran, or at the very least the dissolution of the IRGC.
