(22,115 posts)was Iran's attempt to widen the war against Israel. Israel's single retaliatory attack on Iranian military commanders inside Syria who were behind the attacks on Israel signalled that Israel is willing and able to defend itself. Iran made a face saving counter attack on Israel Saturday and Biden aided Israel's defense. End of any additional widening of the war on that front.
But Iran has already widened the war beyond Gaza and Israel with its backing of Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea. The US and our allies are protecting those ships. So Iran has drawn the following into the Hamas-Israel war: Yemen (via Houthi missiles against Israel), Hezbollah (Syria and Jordan), and the US and our allies in protection of Red Sea shipping.
So who is it that is widening the Hamas-Israel war and trying to escalate it? Who started the war with a horrific attack on Israel? (Hint: It's a terrorist organization that has Iran's support and backing.)
