Iran and its backing Houthi rebels in Yemen, Iraqi militias, and Allah in Lebanon have escalated their resolve to confront the United States and Israel on multiple fronts, creating opportunities for future wars in the Middle East. In response, Israel and the United States have also taken countermeasures.
The Red Sea coalition, which the United States began to form, called on traditional allies to join Operation Prosperity Guardian to demonstrate the West's determined response to Yemen's Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping.
The Israeli army is nearing the end of its clearance operation in northern Gaza, but it continues to fight despite international pressure, vowing to eradicate Hamas before it can stop. Recently, the Israeli army officially launched a military operation in Khuza, south of Khan Younis. Israeli Chief of Staff Al-Khalevi said: We will definitely attack the Hamas leadership, whether it takes a week or many months.
In addition, in order to deter Iran, Israel carried out an air strike on Damascus, the Syrian capital, in which Mousavi, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, who served as a military adviser in Syria, died. Since the start of the war in Israel, the IRGC has coordinated the deployment of hundreds of Iranian-backed fighters in southern Lebanon and southwestern Syria.
