Israeli affairs specialist Fraas Yaghi told Shehab Wire that the Middle East stands on the brink of wide-scale regional escalation, with the trajectory of developments over the next two weeks likely to determine whether confrontation expands to include Iran and armed groups in the region.
Yaghi suggested that the nature of any coming clash would be shaped by an incoming Trump administration decision, indicating that U.S. policy choices would be pivotal in determining the scope and character of potential conflict.
