Tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated dramatically after Israel carried out air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and infrastructure on June 13. The two nations are now locked in a dangerous back-and-forth, but experts suggest that without direct U.S. involvement, Israel’s actions may have only provoked a "wounded big beast"—raising fears of further retaliation. The big question now is whether the U.S. will step in, potentially pulling the region deeper into conflict.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another flare-up in the Middle East—it’s a high-stakes showdown that could spiral into a wider war. If the U.S. gets involved, the situation could shift from a regional crisis to a global one, with serious implications for oil markets, diplomacy, and global security. Everyone’s watching to see if Washington steps in or tries to de-escalate.
