Could the conflict expand and involve other countries in the Middle East ? • FRANCE 24 English

on the streets of Baghdad these men carry the flags of Iran and Hezbollah They chant anti-Israel and anti-America slogans They’re furious that around 2 and a half thousand US troops are still based in Iraq Expel the occupying forces from Iraq that paved the way for Israeli planes to attack the Islamic Republic Since Israel’s initial attack on Iran pro-Iranian groups in Iraq have called for the expulsion of US troops The powerful Iraqi militia KB Hezbala even warned of additional wars in the region Then Yemen’s Houthi rebels said that they had carried out a joint military operation with Iran’s army and marks the first time that an Iranian proxy has publicly announced as much Iran’s so-called axis of resistance spans the Middle East with loyal groups in Iraq and Yemen but also Syria while the best known Lebanon and Gaza’s Hamas have been drastically weakened by Israel’s military operation since October 7th Nonetheless American officials are worried any escalation could lead Iran or its proxies to retaliate against US military bases in the region Donald Trump even went out of his way to post on social media that the US was not involved with Israel’s attacks and issued a warning saying “If we are attacked in any way shape or form by Iran the full strength and might of the US armed forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.” But Trump campaigned on ending wars like Ukraine and Gaza and avoiding another big Middle East war The thing to watch for is whether Iran targets the United States in the region And if US military bases in places like Iraq or Syria are hit then I think all bets are off Then I think that draws the United States in Until now Trump may have been hoping that negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program could lead to deescalation But the sixth round of talks set for this Sunday have been called off with Thrron saying it would not attend as long as Israel kept up its attacks

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran had “solid proof” that US forces and bases in the region had supported Israel in its attacks.

  1. Yes or it is end of Middle East because Israeli agent trump is directly involved in this war and |US|A not getting dragged into it is very less likely because trump and his people are total Israelis

  2. The conflict won't expand because only Yemen, Lebanon and Iran are standing with Gaza in action. The rich Arabian nations are enjoying the show with US, gifting plane to Trump, taking photos and giving lengthy talks.

  4. But wasn’t “Regime Change” in Iraq supposed to bring “Freedom and Democracy”? Well, this is Freedom and Democracy Iraq 🇮🇶 style. Guess you don’t support Freedom and Democracy after all!

  9. Done… F with the US, find out big men.. lol oh man what foolish people to mess with the US. Are they stupid?? But for real are they brain washed dum dum??

  16. Israel can target US military bases and blame Iran, it's not the first time when they use deception as their main tool.

  22. Iran is a very large country with massive natural resources and large population therefore it can continue such wars for even decades but not so with Israel.

  23. We Pakistanis stand with Iran. Most of western media outlets are spreading Israeli propaganda to Justify their escalatory attacks and severe voilation of international law and bringing the world on the brink of war. They are spreading false narrative of bringing peace like what US did with Iraq.

  29. what happened to EUs favorite word 'unprovoked illegal attack'? only for Russia i suppose.

  31. The God chosen peoples managed to get the EU, Australia, Canada, and India, other than the US UK involved in it's greater Israel motives is amazing 😮😮😮
