Abstract

For the last few months, the situation in the Middle East has worsened due to the sudden conflict that started between Israel and Gaza. Due to this long conflict, the political situation in the Middle East is worsening day by day. In an expected line, the war is spreading in different parts of the Middle East. Jordon, Iran, and a few other countries. This war is slowly turning into a major armed conflict in the region. Iran is using their proxies to launch a counter-attack on the US and Israel. These proxies include the Hezbollah and other anti-Israel militia groups. The Hezbollah de facto controls the Lebanese government. As a result, Iranian-backed militant groups have attacked Israeli and U.S. targets across the Middle East in a show of support for Palestinians. While Iran has flexed its muscles in the region since the war erupted in October, Tehran has avoided taking direct military action against Israel and its key ally, the United States. Experts say the Islamic Republic sees a direct war against its archfoes as a threat to its fragile domestic stability and its survival
