Tensions in the Middle East are escalating beyond Israel. Here’s where.

The simmering crisis in the Middle East, sparked by the start of the war in Gaza nearly three months ago, threatens to boil over amid strikes and violence across the region.

Notably, tensions are growing despite few indications that actors in the region are eager to fight. Most notably, Iran and its allies have largely refrained from open warfare against Israel and its allies since the Oct. 7 attack led by Hamas.
