- Description
- Update: Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Tehran, with Iran blaming Israel for the attack. The incident followed Israel’s claim of killing a senior Hizballah commander. Is this threatening to escalate into a full-scale war involving Iran, Israel, and the rest of the Middle East? Or will Iran react by using its proxies, such as Hizballah and Yemen’s Huthi rebels? Analysts agree that the killing of Haniyeh has intensified the Middle East conflict, creating concerns of a full-blown regional war.
