Comment on A Wider War in the Middle East

A Wider War in the Middle East

“The long-feared ‘wider war’ in the Middle East is here,” the New York Times reports. “For the last 360 days, since the images of the slaughter of about 1,200 people in Israel last Oct. 7 flashed around the world, President Biden has warned at every turn against allowing a terrorist attack by Hamas to spread into a conflict with Iran’s other proxy, Hezbollah, and ultimately with Iran itself.” “Now, after Israel assassinated the Hezbollah chief, Hassan Nasrallah, and began a ground invasion of Lebanon, and after Iran retaliated on Tuesday by launching nearly 200 missiles at Israel, it has turned into one of the region’s most dangerous moments since the Arab-Israeli War of 1967.” “The main questions now are how much the conflict might escalate and whether the United States will get more directly involved.”
