In March 2026, a war between Iran, Israel, and the United States entered its second week, raising concerns about regional spillover. The conflict, which began with strikes on Tehran, has expanded to neighboring countries targeted by Iranian missiles and drones, with attacks reaching beyond the immediate region. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has apologized to Gulf states and pledged to limit future attacks. Experts are debating the likelihood of further escalation given the lack of indication that Israel and the US will end the war. The potential for new fronts opening up due to attacks on countries beyond the region is also being discussed.
