Tensions Rise: The Looming Israel-Iran Conflict

While Iran may not want a direct war with Israel, experts warn that it could be dragged into one as the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues. Iran has varying levels of influence over the militias it backs in the region, and if these groups independently intervene, it could escalate the situation. The US has warned Iran against further involvement and airstrikes have targeted Iranian-backed militias in Syria. While Iran is preparing its population for war, there are concerns about the stability of the situation and the potential for a wider conflict that could involve the US.
