Israel-Iran War: The Israeli attack on Iran has the potential to escalate the conflict into a full-blown war in the Middle East involving Hamas, Hezbollah, and other countries. The repercussions could be devastating, threatening the global economy and drawing in nations from around the world. Israel and Iran both have formidable militaries, and a direct confrontation between the two could have catastrophic consequences.
With Israel planning a retaliatory attack after Iran’s recent missile barrage, the possibility of a war is more likely, sparking alarm among the international community. Any conflict between Iran and Israel could drag the U.S. and Gulf States into the conflict, leading to a wider regional war.
The economic fallout from such a war could be devastating, causing disruptions in oil supply chains and leading to a global recession. There is also a high risk of miscalculation, with both Israel and Iran showing a willingness to risk war. The collapse of the deterrence framework has left the situation precarious, with the potential for misjudgments at every turn.
