Israel has started retaliatory strikes against Iran, confirming the IDF statement after Iranian state TV reports. The conflict in the Middle East has turned to proxy battles involving Hezbollah and Hamas after Israeli airstrikes on Iran. The death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has been hailed as justice for many victims by President Biden. The future of Hezbollah’s influence in the Middle East will be reshaped following Nasrallah’s death. This escalation in the conflict has raised concerns of a potential war between Israel and Iran. Reports of explosions in Lebanon and Israeli targeted strikes in Beirut demonstrate the ongoing tension in the region. It is suggested that the direct confrontation between Israel and Iran may come to an end as the conflict focuses on proxy fights. The situation remains volatile, with the possibility of further escalation at any moment. The response from various leaders, including the presidents of Iran and Turkey, indicates the complex geopolitical dynamics at play in the region. The cycle of retaliation and violence between the various factions involved in the conflict continues to escalate, with potential implications for the wider Middle East.
