How far could the war with Iran spread beyond the Middle East?

AI Summary

short article 1 min

A US-Israeli assault on Iran is escalating into a wider conflict with the potential to spread beyond the Middle East. Iranian missiles and drones have already reached Turkey and Azerbaijan, prompting retaliation threats and warnings. European powers are deploying military assets to the eastern Mediterranean and Gulf to contain the situation. Analysts warn that prolonged conflict could exacerbate regional tensions, including Kurdish militancy and separatist movements. US support for Kurdish opposition groups potentially invading Iran and Azerbaijan's vow to retaliate after being struck by Iranian drones are further escalating the situation. NATO and the EU are increasingly involved as the conflict expands.
