The Western press is actively discussing the possible escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, which can be involved in Europe and the United States. In particular, The Guardian is concerned about the possible development of events if Israel decides to respond to recent shelling by Iran.
Not only does it be a threat to the Middle East, it also threatens to significantly affect the US election campaign, where Trump tries to represent Baiden and Harris as "hopelessly incapable of actions on the world stage."
The New York Times believes that the world may be approaching the "most dangerous moment in the history of the modern Middle East" - the war with the use of ballistic missiles between Iran and Israel.
According to the publication, this will almost certainly lead to the states on the side of Israel, and together they will try to destroy the nuclear program of Iran.
Although The Independent believes that the escalation of the conflict is not yet defined in advance, and the nature of the Iranian attack leaves Israel the opportunity to answer not too rigidly and maintain current, although very tense, balance.
You can also answer the sanctions that will exert additional pressure on Iran, but is unlikely to respond by force. This is probably the best option for Washington, but their ability to influence Israel remains limited.
“Given the pressure on Lebanon, the Netanyahu Prime Minister seems to want to push the borders as far as possible. On the other hand, the supreme leader of Ayatol Ali Hamenei. Given the blows that Hezbolla suffered, he does not want to look weak, failing to protect the ally. It can be purely the two involved leaders, which will be a frightening prospect for the Middle East and the West, ”Independent says.
