Israel and Iran’s shadow war explodes into the open
The Middle East, a region already mired in conflict due to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, just got a lot more dangerous. In response to a recent Israeli strike on an Iranian consulate building in Damascus, Iran sent hundreds of drones and missiles to attack Israel, setting the stage for a potential military escalation. The world is now watching closely as the long shadow war between Israel and Iran – which has played out with proxies in Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen for years – threatens to turn into a full blown war between the two regional enemies that could draw in the surrounding Arab States, the US, and even Russia.
To unpack this unfolding crisis we are joined by Gregg Carlstrom. Greg is a Middle East correspondent for The Economist, and has covered the region for more than a decade, with stints in Cairo, Beirut and Tel Aviv.
